Pickup Power: 1959 Corner-Carving Apache - /BIG MUSCLE

- Back in 1959 the idea of having a pickup truck that could go around corners was simply ludicrous. These trucks were meant to haul farm equipment, construction supplies and tow stuff, not shred corners and pull lateral-g's. Owner Wes Drelleshak has always liked trucks, however he's always had a special affinity for one in particular - a 1959 Chevrolet Apache with the rare Fleetside bed. He bought it with the intention of making it his daily driver, but then something happened... He found out about auto-x.

there's nothing better than a kick ass ride with a super cool down to earth owner.
It may go without saying, but this world NEEDS more people like Wes. Take what's old and make it cool without being an ass about it. Great owner, great truck.
what an awesome truck. it looks nice with the style it has right now and it just looks cool on the road. this is the definition of a custom vehicle for me because it is unique and you are not likely to see another one of these anything like this one.
Great episode......and awesome job on the build Wes. This truck is sweet.
My dad drooled all over the place. Great ride Wes!
Thank you for sharing car enthusiast's passion for spirited driving. The cars that you present shows the personal commitment and pride why they drive such cars!
The black and white intro in this episode is a thing of beauty!
Can't tell you how many times I've watched this same video. its amazing.
***** motivation to finish my 66 and 72 c10's. Do you have instagram , I'd like to follow you.
indeed. I love the point made too about instead of putting 300 a month into some other car from dealership, you can put that into your own car and build it however you like...especially if you take a out a loan.
That's one hell of a muscle truck, great episode.
Hahah I was going to ask what the chrome glove box was all about. Glad I waited until the video was completely over :)
I happen to really like this Truck. It has a certain kind of character to it. I dont care if its fast or slow because I just like the attitude it puts forth but it is a nice bonus that it can handle pretty well and go fast. I hope to see more and more cars like this being built in the future. Not every car from the 50's or 60's has to be a trailer queen these days. Go out and drive it like you stole it and enjoy it for what it is. Nice Build.
I think that look is far more classic, and appealing than any high dollar exotic paint Job. Bro, this truck by far blows away the hotrod feel of a Hellcat and is far better than a 2017 Zl1 Camaro. Classy Bro, keep it real.
Awesome build!! This truck has personality .. serious old school attitude! Great work!!
Wes first and foremost your truck is badass and awesome job! Love when people such as yourself think outside the box and create something unique and one of a kind.
That truck is so sic. there's one sitting in my garage rite now thanks for the inspiration. See ya out there.
That truck is simply gorgeous. He got the stance just right. I've always loved 50's and early 60's pick-ups with the fleetside boxes. I'd take a truck like that over quite a few of the hot rod cars I've seen.
I got a 58 apache did the same thing to it 20 years ago,been my daily driver ever since!
I go straight below the video and hit like before watching. Musto is so slick.
That was an award-winning introduction. You guys should definitely consider trying to get that acknowledged by an awards committee.
I love this show. There is nothing like it. A car.a guy. And his story. Brilliant.
This is the video that got me started on my truck
I really like how well the Nova dash was integrated into the truck
That truck is awesome! Every part of it looks perfect. It's shape ( agree with the owner the Fleetside bed looks great), the paintjob, no sidemirrors,the wheels. Simple,yet perfect.
I love the new shooting style used in the intro!
You know man, stop. Thats too much
@ 7:14 "the patina look in something I created one night in my boxers"..... lol I think every man at some point in life has made patina in his boxers...
Awesome build and video! Thanks for showing us Mike.
This thing is a BEAST!
I love it.
That truck was absolutely beautiful. Great episode
Yes the truck rocks !! I am seriously jealous !!
One of the best episodes. Hhaahah love the little tidbits at the end, glove box was fuckin hilarious. This show is so well done and entertaining I think Mike should take it and make it a legit TV show with longer episodes. Great show...
Absolutely love this build. I bought a 1959 Apache 3100 in 2020 and I’ve been doing little by little as I can. Recently I had a chassis built and have an engine and tranny sitting in the garage waiting for the chassis to be delivered. Right now I’m working on the body and I would really love to talk to the owner of this truck. I’d like to pick his brain a little bit. I’m doing this stuff myself and do not have any auto body or painting experience and I do want the patina look. Once I get the chassis I’ll be running my brake lines, hoses, and wiring and then marrying the engine and tranny to the chassis. The first thing that caught my eye about the build was how he used the inner headlights for more air consumption. That’s one of the first things I thought about doing prior to even buying my truck. My thought was to eventually have twin turbos on the engine but knew it would be quite a while before I could afford to do that so I thought I would just do what he did.
If it’s possible for the owner of this channel to put me in touch somehow with the owner of the truck I would appreciate it. Thanks and thank you for all your content.
Forever looking forward seeing the episode on that blue camaro wheeling in the intro..
I so love that truck, just the way it is. Great build.
This is the best one guys. I do the same with my 64 gmc swb fleetside. There's nothing better than giving your daily up for a hot rod. Before the truck was a 3rd gen nova, and after the truck... Wellc
In case there were doubts that Mike Musto has the best job in the world...
Love seeing stuff like this. Stunning.
Great Job!!! Bringing a classic back to life, one bad-ass day at a time!
I like the paint job, makes the truck look even more badass.
One of the best episodes yet! Great job guys!
The paint work on this truck is a masterpiece. Absolutely love its style and finish!
such a beautiful introduction
The /Drive boys do a nice job.
The sound of that truck is killer!
I just purchased a 1959 Apache, today. 59 years old, I’m home now highlighting through a parts catalog and it just occurred to me that this is what I really want to do with this truck... your story has inspired me to make this the the truck I’ve always dreamt of. Looks like I’m not buying anything till she’s off the frame, ground up in efforts to keep tasks to a 1 time each. Any advice, part recommendations would be appreciated!
I just love these videos. They people who make them do a great job, no stupid music over the motor noise. The host is very calm, just very simply tells you about the vehicle and drives it. More people should learn from DRIVE on how to make a car video. Very well done! I enjoy them all....but we need to see more mopars!
That truck is rad man. Keep doing your thing. That’s what it’s all about. Your own style.
I love the episodes /Drive and Big Muscle!
It's also pretty awesome that the watching your shows gives me a taste of back home.
I grew up in Moorpark so seeing the back roads of Santa Paula was rad 👍
Wow, this is an amazing truck. Absolutely blown away!
True masterpiece right there. Thank you Mike!
Apache. One heck of a warrior. I appreciate a great little truck. Even the glovebox lid is cool!
Best episode of big muscle by far explains why people love their cars
Just the intro alone made me put a thumbs up on this video..
amazing episode ... probably the best , love you guys
what a cool job to have. driving and reviewing all those badass cars, and a truck in this case!
Awesome episode, Mike! Very cool vehicle too. I love seeing these old vehicles that're tuned and prepared for more than just straight line acceleration and speed.
Next Gen Cool. The future is secure with guys like him.
Great Job on this Wes...glad to see this thing out pounding the streets and the road course's. ...
Great show again!!
I fucking love this show. Did I mention I fucking love this how?
Wes built himself total rockstar of a truck.
What a beatiful truck, all comes from a dream... saludos from san luis potosi, mexico...
Awesome episode by the way. Great to see a nice home built hot rod, it's super cool seeing everyone come together and work with one another to build something awesome. I wish people on the internet understood this.
This truck is amazing! I've personally been able to meet Wes because he used to come into my work every so often (K1 Speed Irvine). He really is a cool guy and very humble as said in the video. Glad to see that he's doing well! Come back and race sometime Wes!
The black & red sanded patina makes this thing look pure evil, I love it. This truck hits every mark, very well done!
Hey that truck looks evil 😈 like get in shut and hold the hell on !! Lmao 😂 great ride 🤣
Great show as always Mike!
bravo! awesome video, awesome story! - this is what its all about! - love it! well done guys!
It's nice to watch a show where Mike Musto, a good guy, features cars built by good guys. And to top it off, most if not all guys who watch this show are good people as well. Everyone's just down to earth. :)
This is, by far, my favorite episode of Big Muscle, maybe the favorite episode from the whole Drive.
Mike said beautifully one great explanation of this kind of feel. People spend 300+ bucks every month paying some car while you can spend the same amount of money to make something that is unique, yours, that translate and materializes your passion.
That is the reason I like things like this pickup truck.
I simply fell in love with this truck! My dream truck.
This episode was awesome!
Stupid fast is the best kind of fast! Awesome truck Wes, keep it up.
I got one too,but not even close to this one and mine is step side, beautiful truck thanks for sharing with everyone, this is art at its best.
Absolutely liked the story! Awesome Job!
This is why I love /Drive
I'm always interested in the fast million dollar cars they feature but its these guys that really inspire me to want to restore a car the way i want to :)
Thank you so much!!!! SO INSPIRING!!!!
Cool truck, seems like a super nice guy too, Love the chrome glovebox story at the end
Always enjoying your show. Keep it up.
Wow! Mike your past is inspiring. These videos you make are life changing. Just amazing, I'm usually overwhelmed and at a loss of words watching them.
Your intros keep getting better and better Mike.
That's my kind of farm truck! The glove-box is pretty stylin' too!
I'm putting a chrome glove box in my 55.. lol...
BTW, I like your comment on substituting a car payment to build a project that means something. very cool.
also, the fact that you can lean on the truck with a set of keys hanging from your jeans, and not really worrying about a scratch is awesome! it's already scratched!
Great build. I love the air ram idea.
That chrome glove box idea is genius!
This is without a doubt your best video...love the ending!
This is one of my favorite videos from BIG MUSCLE. A very honest video. Thank you Mike. And Wes, thank you for creating something awesome. People don't appreciate humble, nice car enthusiasts these days.
Love it. Absolutely stunning. And badassery.
Very cool truck. It inspires me to do this my Gen 2 L someday and i have had it for 7 years.
Moar awesome!
Thanks guys.
I love that ratty...rustic..look on hot rods. It just fits so WELL.
