Wow! This is incredible. I’m a huge Tomac fan, definitely wasn’t expecting to see his truck on this channel but I’m all for it. Incredible build and video!
ET3 fan here also! I wasn't expecting to see a vehicle of his on this show either! Let alone SEMA!! Eli is going to love this truck. Looks and sounds incredible
He doesn’t like to brag.. good to see someone doing it for him.. this will look good next to the GT3RS
Instead of mitch payton, it's mitch painting.
Same. Sweet truck!
Fellow Eli fan .... He has great taste in cars. This is cool to see not much of his personal life out there.
People drool over the 70’s C-10. To me the Apache is styling heaven for a pickup. This build has style to the max.
Wow! just when loved Eli as a motorcrosser in even a bigger fan now lol
Good luck n 24 Eli,
Great to have you back! Your truck is badass too!
Damn that's nice! Eli has done a few things, in fact he's pretty good on a Vespa.
Tomac is the man and has a badass truck
Love Tomac and the story behind the truck! My dad brought me home from the hospital in the 68 RS/Z28 that he gave me!! Makes it so sentimental!
I was brought home in a 1980 Z28 Camaro with Hurst t-tops. It's dark claret with silver and charcoal stripes. It's sitting in my driveway right now. Thanks dad!
I appreciate that you’re a CZcamsr that won’t run another person’s shit like it was yours. You have respect and being a grown up you know the limits. I love your videos, great content
First off. Eli is the goat
2nd this dude just oozes his love for his craft. It’s siiiick
Badass truck. I love this guys enthusiasm for his own work. Few can appreciate what goes into a straight body and tight consistent gaps. It’s usually overlooked by everyone except people that does that type of work. Most people just see the flawless paint job and none of what it takes for the clear coat to take the credit.
58-59 Apaches are absolutely stunning when done to this level!
This truck was a fun build! And yes it made 480hp to the wheels at 6000ft elevation and stock gm injection. Super fun to drive!
ELevation must be the key. Great job man super tasteful not overdone or tacky. Hard to pull off
Color is incredible. Love me some PPG products they make great stuff!
Love the history, especially that Eli came home in the truck as a baby. Makes me wish I kept my Z 28 my son Levi came home in back in 1988. We’re big Eli fans and watch all his races! The old school gun rack is cool but would have liked the door wing windows in function. See you soon at A 1 Eli, we all missed you after last years injury. Superb work Gentleman! P.S. Eli’s race winning Yamaha is blue too.
My dad had a burgundy one with a white top and rear stripe on the bed. Small block 350 with Turbo 350 transmission and 4:11 gears. It was a beast in the 1/8th... freeway driving was another story😂😂
I have a 58 Apache also but with the big wrap around rear window...this is motivation here for me!!!It was my Dad's Friend truck my Dad bought it from him in the early 70's!!
LOVE that blue.
Just something about matte gray/black trim, grills, etc. mixed with a badass paint job that make stuff stand out to me. LOVE it !
His other red 3/5 build has the same thing going. I'd cerakote all the grey you see in this build to contrast with the super shinny blue. Stunning truck regardless.
i love this truck. i really appreciate that it's not all blinged out. it's perfect. The color combo is excellent.
That 'Dakota Digital' dash cluster is beautiful hell this whole build and the history behind it is beautiful great job to all the builders and artisans that worked on this build and great job to you Sean and your guys at AutoTopia L.A. for another top notch show keep up the good work guys and gals👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✌🏾
Thank you and I love what they did with this one and the story behind it
1/8" toe in is correct as far as I'm concerned. Straight axles especially. The 1/8" toe in will get you started at the very least. Great build, very nice truck and while I'm not a blue fan, this is very nice.
What a beautiful truck! These guys are the best! I love the Crazy Painters!
Trucks used to be for work…but this one is 100% for fun today👍🏻 Nice
Mitch had to bring up the alternator. Lol. Good one! Love this truck and little touches like the turn signals wired to the headlamps. You even managed a tunnel blip before he takes it on the circuit and got the brakes diagnosed.
That is one insane Chevy Apache build...wow!
Oh...the owner is up in the mountains...so my bet is the gun rack holds an HCAR .30-06...or it should.
Seriously nice bodywork and that paint... well done.👍😎
Wow! Very nice. Clean and tastefully done.
As a gear head, a mountain biker that's been riding since the '90s when John was killing it and then later got back into moto when Eli turned pro, I want to see ET's reaction to this beauty.
The #3 Yamaha would look great in the back.
Great build. Awesome color choices and just so well done all the way through. Rifle racks a must 😊
Damn that exhaust note is sweet
Chuck did so good on this build! And the paint job is absolutely gorgeous!
Now that classy and elegant yet absolutely wicked. Beautiful build
Shawn another great episode. Crazy Painters are awsome, always do incredible great job. Greetings
Love the color of the truck and the color of stain of the wood. There are some serious hours put into this truck. 🏁🏆
Love the color & the metal work is amazing!
It looks really good. They put a lot of work in it and it shows!
Be careful with the brakes 😂
Another level of respect for the goat🙌 tomac still amazes us off the bike!
Eli knows what’s up ! Great looking and sounding Chevy. Great color combo too.. super nice build….
Fantastic & amazing story.
this truck is straight up awesome
Wow! Just found my dream truck 😍 well done 👏🏽
What an absolutely amazing dream truck!
never been a truck person but after all these trucks I want one
I just watched this one here at work (not signed in 😂). Wow, just wow, everything these guy's touch turns to gold.....or beautiful blue trucks 😂 Simply gorgeous! Eli, you lucky sum b.... 😎👊🏽
1/8 of an inch sounds fine, send it! Maybe in a track car you can go with a tie out to increase turning response at expense of stability, nice paint again
I knew that was Eli Tomac’s truck wow beautiful machine! Great video and build !
Another beautiful ride.
Nice build!💙
Awesome build man!
This truck is sweet my old coworker has a truck like this that he built back in the early 80s was sort of a teal green color he’s good friends with Kindig, i’m gonna send this video on to him!
That’s just stunning
Nice Chevy 👍👍👍
Such a clean build!!
The best Amarican Channel. Congratulations Shawn, good to see you again.
What a nice truck! Love it! 😍😍😍
BEAUTIFUL Truck.
Oh man, that is a good looking truck!
Patina is ok, but that is a thing of beauty.
Sure is a pretty build
Super clean Apache. I would love to own one of these trucks one day.
58 Apache fleetside with the rap around window was my first truck I ever bought myself. 283, 3 speeding the column, Later put a 454 and a 4 speed in it.
HELLO EVERYONE
PEACE LOVE
AND GOOD HEALTH
TO YOU ALL
ANOTHER GREAT VEHICLE
ANOTHER GREAT STORY
THANK YOU FOR POSTING
😎👍❤️🤍💙🙏🇺🇸

Thank you for posting
Have a great day everyone
From what I was always told 1/8 inch sounds right
Shaun...you're the perfect host. This guy knows his paint!
The goat baby. The mountain goat. 🏔️ 🐐
The leather wrapped wheel tubs was such a cool touch, I’ve never seen that before!
That’s a thing of beauty
Great body and paint work and a beautiful color choices for that pick up❤👍👍🤙
Good for Eli 💯
Paint job is marvelous.
WOW oh WOW!!!!!!!
Saw this truck in Mini Warriors 4. So sweet
Always enjoy your videos! Hopefully you can make one of my truck when is done!
Another one of those have to have one some day. I love apaches
Beast Mode!!!
17:22 ... that blinker makes my day.
2 LSX 454 crate engines. 625hp, and 720hp LSX 454 R. That's the 625hp lsx 454. The 720 will have an R on the valve cover, came with a high rise intake manifold, carburetor, 13:1 compression that runs on race gas. That truck should be making no less than 540 to the wheels.
Holy Moses homeanahh the truck action❤fookin awesome content AZ USUAL Shawn mean Hawaiians Mean Honolulu
Love the old school gun racks!
Gotta love that they left the gun racks in the back glass it is one bad truck
Nice
This is one sick Apache! Bitchin’!
Really clean build
Love Tomac, love the truck, was loving this guy …. And then he said he hates wing windows. So now I hate him. On both my first gen Dodge and my bmw 2002, the wing windows are my favorite features.
That color is sick
And it’s a stock marina blue from an old Vette
Sweet, The ultimate truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it man
Love the truck and he's been the wife and I favorite rider for years. I disagree with the one piece windows though. I like the wing glass thats not pointed✌️
That's dakota digital gauges danm good....... Next level Chevy apache pickup truck 😊........ Greetings from india 🇮🇳🤠🤠🤩🤩🙌🏻
Such a Badass Truck and Rider 🤘
The best project for a guy who was off Season unfortunately. Hope Star Yamaha build him a YZ 250 2 Stroke!
Perfect 🏆
The engine-exhaust sounds lovely, I'd have kept the 'smoothies' as wheels to make it more of a sleeper. 🙂
clean color
TRUCK YEAH🇺🇸
That thing is Nice....
Mitch needs his own show. Seems like I’ve seen him on a show before 🤔
He’s got passion and enthusiasm for days!
This is the type of truck I’m attracted to.
I like exotic cars too,but the rides on autopia are my kind of rides
I like how it’s tucking a low offset wheel combo
These old vehicles need chrome to look their best, especially for something like this Chevy.
OMG!!! I love this truck. There might be one thing I would change. Maybe. Color match the spokes of the wheels to that gray. I'm not a big chrome guy on cars/trucks. Harleys, oh yes. But not 4 wheels. And, again that is a maybe. Incredible truck!!!!!!!
I never noticed the vent Windows that’s cool
Takes decades to master this craft, need more like him
Came out great...if it were mine only change Id make is keep the brightwork, trim and polished wheels (lip too)
Dont matter..... Im betting that seat gives larger/taller guys an opp to drive it. Friend has a tricked out 58? I cant drive the darn thing
Gun rack is classic!
Gotta love the work on this thing and the gun rack was a must for the owner!
