1959 Chevrolet Apache 38. Saskatchewan.

 

From Alex Emond: Here's a one-ton truck that is being restored. Oak boards needed to finish the bed; everything else looks dialed. Outside a shop in Lafleche, Saskatchewan. One of the better-looking trucks ever made, in my humble opinion.
AL: Alex caught a 3/4 -ton 1958 Apache in Piapot, Saskatchewan a while back. 
"Piapot, Payipwât, or Payipwat (Hole in the Sioux or One Who Knows the Secrets of the Sioux), born as Kisikawasan (Flash in the Sky), known by his Assiniboine allies as Maȟpíya owáde hókši(Lightning In The Sky Boy) (c. 1816–April 1908) was a Native Canadian chief of the Cree-Assiniboine / Young Dogs Band, a mighty band and division of the Downstream People (Māmihkiyiniwak) of the Plains Cree.[1] He was one of the five major leaders of the Plains Cree after 1860."

Speaking of Apaches, did you catch our post on Women Who Weld
