1962 Apache - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi everyone. I generally lurk on the Blazer forum but my neighbor is selling a 1962 Apache and I confess I am intrigued. It is sooooo ugly that it is beautiful.

It has rust for days at the bottom of each of the fenders and the doors: I just want to check that this is generally repairable (I have a bodyshop guy) and not a structural issue (assuming the frame is good).

It has a straight six which I am unfamilar with, and I'm wondering if there are any flags to look for there?

Its a manual 4 on the floor - are the transmissions generally bullet proof or are there common issues?
