RARE 1961 CHEVY APACHE 10 PANEL TRUCK ORIGINAL NAPCO 4x4 RESTORED! Very rare Napco 4x4, 100% original with a complete frame-off-restoration completed in 2009. Numbers matching only 37,500 on the 235 ci Blue Flame motor when I bought it in 2014. Originally the truck started as an ambulance from the fire fighters village of Spring Green, Wisconsin 7/13/1961. The next owner was Alan Boucher of Dorset, Vermont and he sold the vehicle with 22,000 miles in 1993 to Ironworks, South Royalton, Vermont. The steel yard later sold at 32,855 miles to a German couple that bought it and drove it to Florida. It was then put into an extensive frame off restoration of which over $50,000 was invested. When I purchased it I had it shipped in an enclosed trailer to Washington State.
