Chevrolet K20 Apache
Description
This rust-free 64 Apache from the K series is impressive through and through: A very beautiful Twotone paint job in the original color Turquoise iridescent, iridescent turquoise, ensures envious glances and the powerful rims do the rest visually. The original wheels including tires are included with the car and the machine also looks very chic with them.
Under the hood is a mighty 292cc in-line six-cylinder engine with contactless ignition, which, with its 4.8 liter displacement paired with manifold and new exhaust system, is in no way inferior to its V8 brother. The sound of the engine is also impressive across the board - you can find the video below this text.
The engine's power is sent to the rear axle in normal operation and 4×4 can be engaged when going off-road - this is what sets the Chevrolet K-series apart. Thanks to the gear reduction, the pickup can also make progress in difficult off-road situations.
The Chevy was completely overhauled down to the last detail and freshly inspected as a veteran. The carburetor, ignition timing, brake system, steering gear and wheel bearings were adjusted before the veteran MFK. Optionally, 3-point seat belts can be installed, which are included with the car, and there is also a trailer coupling with a permissible towing capacity of 3.5 tons, which is not fitted.
The car comes with several boxes of original and spare parts. These include two carburetors, a new seat cover, replacement rims, a servo pump, blinker lenses, seals and much more. A list of the parts would go beyond the scope of this article.
The following parts were replaced, among others:
Engine: carburetor, air filter, belt, belt pulley, water pump, alternator, aluminum radiator, collector gasket, spark plugs, fuel line, heater fan, exhaust system
Electrics: earth cable, battery, wiring harness, fuse box, ignition coil, 3-way loudspeaker, Bluetooth retro radio
Brakes: brake booster new (dual-circuit brake system), brake lines, brake reducer HA, handbrake cables
Fluids: Brake fluid, engine oil, transmission oil, transfer case oil, front and rear axle oil,
Bridge: Wood planed, sanded and oiled, all screws new stainless steel. Crossbeam and slats powder-coated
Other: fuel filler cap, rear tank, interior carpet, various powder-coated parts

Model history
The C/K series of GM pickups was launched in 1960 as the successor to the Task Force series. The new model of the light pickup (Apache) came with a new body design and some important updates. These included the new ladder frame, which was lowered in the middle to allow for a lower-seated cab. The designation of the GM pickups was also new. The old designations for the short-chassis half-tonner, long-chassis half-tonner and three-quarter-tonner - 3100, 3200 and 3600 - were replaced by the designations 10, 20 and 30 for half-tonner, three-quarter-tonner and one-tonner respectively.
As early as 1957, GM pickups were also available ex works with all-wheel drive - recognizable by the designations C for the rear-wheel drive version and K for the all-wheel drive version. In addition to the abbreviations, which indicated the payload and the drive, there were also designations to distinguish the light from the medium and the really big guys. The 10, 20 and 30 series (C or K) were called Apache, the 40, 50 and 60 series were called Viking and the large 70, 80 and 90 series were called Spartan.
The Chevrolet C/K pick-ups were available in 1960 as Fleetside or Stepside, at GMC the models were called Wideside and Fenderside. GMC only offered all-wheel drive versions with the designation K.
In 1962, the pickup received a torsion bar on the front axle and trailing arms on the rear axle. There was a standard version and an upscale custom version. GMC offered a 5.0-liter V6 engine, otherwise an in-line six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 3.9 or 4.3 liters and outputs of 99 and 110 kW, as well as a 4.6-liter V8 with 136 kW.
From 1963, the front axles were fitted with coil springs and a new standard engine was used: an in-line six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 3.8 liters and an output of 103 kW. A 4.8-liter R6 with 121 kW was also available on request, as in this example. In 1964, the driver's cab was modified, with the panoramic windshield being removed. A new radiator grille and various changes were made to the interior. Air conditioning and a 5.4-liter V8 engine with an output of 162 kW and a top speed of 137 km/h were added in 1965.
