  • 4.6L V8 (283ci) engine mated to 4-speed floor change transmission

  • Recent brake overhaul including a new master cylinder

Launched the preceding Autumn, Chevrolet’s 1960-model year line-up included a new, lighter capacity pick-up truck that featured many firsts. Most notable were a ‘drop-centre’ ladder frame chassis, allowing the cab to sit lower, and independent front suspension, giving an almost car-like ride in a truck. Also new for 1960 was a revised designation system for trucks made by GM. Gone were the 3100, 3200, and 3600 monikers. Instead, a new scheme assigned a 10, 20, or 30. Since 1957, Chevy trucks had been available from the factory with four-wheel drive, and the fresh nomenclature saw those with rear-wheel drive carry a ‘C’ prefix and those with four-wheel drive a ‘K’ one.

Finished in Olive Green with Grey Cloth upholstery and ‘Desert Dog Towing’ motifs to each door, this particular example was imported to the UK in 2019 and has since been treated to an overhauled braking system, new master cylinder, alternator conversion, new battery, plugs, points and condenser and had all the oils changed. Riding on Black painted wheels and wearing ‘Chevrolet Apache 20’ badging, ‘915 XVG’ is described by the vendor as being in ‘Good’ condition with regard to its 4.6 litre (283 cu in) V8 engine, four-speed floor change transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork plus paintwork and is fitted with functional Harvey Frost break down equipment.
