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

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.

My dad drooled all over the place. Great ride Wes!

The black and white intro in this episode is a thing of beauty!

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!

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.

That's one hell of a muscle truck, great episode.

That truck is so sic. there's one sitting in my garage rite now thanks for the inspiration. See ya out there.

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!

Can't tell you how many times I've watched this same video. its amazing.

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.

Hahah I was going to ask what the chrome glove box was all about. Glad I waited until the video was completely over :)

I go straight below the video and hit like before watching. Musto is so slick.

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...

I got a 58 apache did the same thing to it 20 years ago,been my daily driver ever since!

That truck was absolutely beautiful. Great episode

Forever looking forward seeing the episode on that blue camaro wheeling in the intro..

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.

@ 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...

I love this show. There is nothing like it. A car.a guy. And his story. Brilliant.

Great episode......and awesome job on the build Wes. This truck is sweet.

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 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.

This is the video that got me started on my truck

That truck is rad man. Keep doing your thing. That’s what it’s all about. Your own style.

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.

Your intros keep getting better and better Mike.

I love the new shooting style used in the intro!

Yes the truck rocks !! I am seriously jealous !!

This thing is a BEAST! I love it.

This can be a great tv show

That chrome glove box idea is genius!

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.

The sound of that truck is killer!

I like the paint job, makes the truck look even more badass.

Best episode of big muscle by far explains why people love their cars

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!

Awesome build!! This truck has personality .. serious old school attitude! Great work!!

Great Job on this Wes...glad to see this thing out pounding the streets and the road course's. ...

what a cool job to have. driving and reviewing all those badass cars, and a truck in this case!

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!

The black & red sanded patina makes this thing look pure evil, I love it. This truck hits every mark, very well done!

i have huge, lifted, massive tired, trucks, this thing is more my style and its freakin cool as hell, good work, and thanks for makin a vid of it

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

Hey that truck looks evil 😈 like get in shut and hold the hell on !! Lmao 😂 great ride 🤣

i totally expected to hear david attenborough narrating in that first intro sequence haha! awesome episode

Just the intro alone made me put a thumbs up on this video..

The paint work on this truck is a masterpiece. Absolutely love its style and finish!

Next Gen Cool. The future is secure with guys like him.

Apache. One heck of a warrior. I appreciate a great little truck. Even the glovebox lid is cool!

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.

The best looking Chevy truck ever built...

"Wouldn't you rather have something that came from the heart than off the dealer's lot?" Afuckingmen brother.

I love that ratty...rustic..look on hot rods. It just fits so WELL.

Great Job!!! Bringing a classic back to life, one bad-ass day at a time!

That's my kind of farm truck! The glove-box is pretty stylin' too!

Cool truck, seems like a super nice guy too, Love the chrome glovebox story at the end

I fucking love this show. Did I mention I fucking love this how? Wes built himself total rockstar of a truck.

I like how humble this guy is and how he doesn't forget the people that made his dream possibly a much better person than the Tapout guy for sure and an amazing build

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. :)

In case there were doubts that Mike Musto has the best job in the world...

Best part of this video is the chrome glove box..... Ha Ha.... Awesome

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!

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.

I have a 1982 Mazda rx7. I know it's not a muscle car but I'd thought I'd share my plans. I bought it for $500 as a rolling shell it already had messed up paint so I decided to go with the rat rod, patina look. That's why this video is so inspirational to me. I'm building it as a daily and a track car since I'm only a teenager and can't afford two cars and this shows you can have an old beater and make it into something great. So... I'm putting a 5.0L Ford Efi 302 in it that I'm taking out of my dad's old Van. I also plan on getting a manual tranny. As of now it has an 8.8 Ford rear end from a mustang but I might swap it with another mustang rear end. I plan on keeping it N/A for as long as possible because the car is so light you don't need much power. It's got disc breaks in the front but rear drums and I will defiantly upgrade to disc breaks in the future. Also coilovers are very much needed because, well it has to handle and the 30 year old suspension won't do that.

I so love that truck, just the way it is. Great build.

such a beautiful introduction

That was an award-winning introduction. You guys should definitely consider trying to get that acknowledged by an awards committee.

I look forward to your shows there awsome.you make people feel good about there selves and that's rare now days keep up the good work

Ok, the outtakes at the end BEST PART OF THE VIDEO

Stupid fast is the best kind of fast! Awesome truck Wes, keep it up.

Awesome build and video! Thanks for showing us Mike.

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 :)

You know I never really looked at one in trucks. But that one's a badass

My absolute favourite episode so far. Why ? For two reasons. The first but not the most important is the truck. The best build I've yet seen covered by Mike and the team, and they know how to pick the gems ! But the most important reason is what I heard from both Wes and Mike. The message in this all too short episode was the best thing I've heard in ages. Wes, if you read this, keep true to yourself and your humbleness is really touching. I have no doubt that the guys that you thought to mention know this and that's why they choose to help you. Mike, make sure to revisit this beautifully inspired true hot rod and it's very genuine owner. Oh, and thanks for such an excellent program ! : )

Very cool truck. It inspires me to do this my Gen 2 L someday and i have had it for 7 years.

What a beatiful truck, all comes from a dream... saludos from san luis potosi, mexico...

Wow, this is an amazing truck. Absolutely blown away!

Personally, I can't get enough. It's a wonderful toy/daily driver

I have a 59 chevy apache stepside in the backyard this inspires me.

Great build. I love the air ram idea.

i love you guys,and what you do. and thanks to the guys who let you drive their cars, because i'm a 17 year old who is on the way to get his first car, and it's not going to be running and driving when i buy it.

Love seeing stuff like this. Stunning.

Staying Frosty . . . . Excellent

Freaking love this truck. Also the front end looks like a samurai demon mask.

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.

Sold the Toyota for the sweet Chevy, that is a mighty fine decision and classic smooth.

LOL! At the end "That's not a faarm truuck" hahahaha

Awesome Truck :) modifying your cars are about character especially if your on a budget. People seem to forget that a lot

nothing better than driving something you created. :)

Seems like such a nice guy. Also that is a sick truck!

That is sick. Nice build. Love the who cares/looks badass paint.

Best series on YT....hands down.

this truck is awesome in everyway!

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.

This video inspired me to build me own apache! I'm going to record it all, maybe one day (decades from now) I'll get to this level 😂

I simply fell in love with this truck! My dream truck.

That truck is cool! Great job on the build.

I literally laughed out loud when he said the "face full of bubble gum" thing. Bahaha
