Found a 1959 GMC 4X4 NAPCO any info out there.
I have been on the lookout for parts or a good parts truck as I would like to find a rear bumper and some better doors and a few other things for my 58 Apache. I had been eyeballing a truck for a while and yesterday I finally stopped to check it out. From the road it looked like a 58-59 GMC stuck on a later model 4X4 chassis but when I stated looking at it I noticed it said NAPCO on the front differential. I am not sure what all had been done to the truck or if the frame is original. There has been a bunch of stuff added to the suspension like locator arms to the rear differential, big blocks to raise the truck and a pile of leaf springs. It is a ¾ ton long bed step side. It looks like the axles , transmission and transfer case are NAPCO pieces from what I can tell from pictures I have seen on the internet. It has no title and does not run. He wants 2000.00 for it and I have no idea the value of the conversion or how to tell what parts are original. If anyone can point me in the right direction for information on the NAPCO conversion please let me know. I did find a NAPCO owners web site but you can’t really go in a look around without paying 25.00 to register.
