The Chevy Apache

Introduced in March of 1955 the Apache was part of the Chevrolet "Task Force" line which began in 1955. The styling hallmark of this truck and others in the "Task Force" was a wraparound windshield which was called a sweep sight windshield. The shape for these trucks was new and was called the "load pulling" look.New features for driver convenience and ease of operation in the Apache included power steering, power brakes, overdrive for half-ton pickups, key-turn starts, tubeless tires, a 12-volt electrical system, and a four speed automatic transmission. The Custom Cab option included chrome interior door knobs, arm rests, dual-sun visors, a cigarette lighter, and a large wrap-around rear window. The Chevy Task force trucks went from 1955 to 1959. The last year of the Task Force line saw minor changes such as front and side emblems were changed to distinguish this year's model from last year's.
