59 Chevrolet Stepside Truck

This 1959 Chevrolet Stepside truck has received a high-quality frame-off restoration. In fact, to my eye, it’s just too perfect—trucks like this are supposed to be rough around the edges—but it can proudly hold its head high among the other high-end pieces here at Best of Show Automotive. The exterior has perfect Tartan Turquoise paint that a Cadillac would have envied in 1959, and all the hard-to-find trim pieces are intact. At least the 225/75/15 radials are basic blackwalls instead of the flashy wide whitewalls that so many folks put on their restored show trucks these days.

Mechanically, this 1959 Chevrolet Stepside is tough-as-nails and anvil-simple. Power is from Chevy’s famous “High Torque” 235 cubic-inch inline six, making 145 horsepower and 217 ft-lb. of torque. The engine compartment is done to show standards, and his highly detailed from the 1-barrel Rochester carburetor to the free-standing oil filter on the driver’s side. A new and correct single exhaust system handles the exhaust chores. The engine is backed by a 3-speed manual transmission with “3-on-the-tree” shifter.

Inside this 1959 Chevrolet Stepside, is just as nice and just as perfect. The Comanche Gold Metallic paint and upholstery are authentic, and give the truck an awesome ‘50s vibe that fits the rest of the truck perfectly. You can see how designers were starting to add some real style to the utilitarian trucks, but at the same time it’s still simple, honest, and functional. The 3-speed transmission is shifted by a column shifter, the starter is engaged by a separate pedal on the floor, and the speaker for the optional radio is mounted high up above the windshield.
