1959 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Specs & Photos

The 1959 Chevrolet 3/4-ton pickup filed under Silverado 2500 in this registry was the Task Force generation Apache 36, in the final year of that body before the all-new C/K line arrived for 1960. The standard engine was the 235-cubic-inch Thriftmaster inline six, with the 283-cubic-inch V8 optional at 160 gross horsepower. Buyers chose between the smooth-sided Fleetside and step-fendered Stepside beds, and factory-installed NAPCO four-wheel drive remained available. The 1959 trucks carried over the quad-headlamp front end introduced in 1958 with only minor grille and trim changes.
