Classic vehicles have a unique way of telling stories—each one a rolling testament to craftsmanship, character, and time. The right vintage truck is more than a collectible; it’s about appreciating design and details that endure, setting the tone for a whole new kind of automotive experience.
That experience is exactly what EDH Motors delivers. Quickly becoming a go-to destination for those in search of something special, owners David Del Dotto and Adam Van Coops are rethinking the way people buy and sell cars, putting community, relationships, and transparency at the forefront. Their deep industry expertise and passion for all things automotive are evident in every aspect of the business, especially in the carefully curated selection of vehicles they offer.
Let’s take a closer look at two classic trucks from this collection that perfectly blend vintage styling with modern performance, made to be driven and enjoyed today.
1959 Chevrolet Apache 3100 Stepside
Affectionately known as the “Big Window,” this 1959 fully restored Apache, part of Chevrolet’s Task Force series (1955–1959), is a stunning example of a classic truck reimagined for modern-day cruising. With its iconic wraparound rear glass and timeless body lines, it commands attention wherever it goes. Under the hood, a strong 350 V8 engine pairs with a Turbo 350 transmission to deliver smooth, reliable power, while modern upgrades like power steering, power brakes, and a Ford 9-inch rear end make it a pleasure to drive, even in city traffic.
The lowered stance and staggered wheels give it just the right hint of attitude, complementing the truck’s gleaming paint and chrome. Inside the cab, the interior has been tastefully refreshed with plush custom leather seating and subtle custom touches. A modern stereo system, tucked neatly inside the glove box, and a discreet speaker box behind the seat preserve the clean, vintage aesthetic.
This Apache isn’t just a showpiece—it’s a thoughtfully built driver that captures the soul of a classic with the comfort of a cruiser.
1969 Ford F100 Ranger
Few builds strike a better balance between old-school cool and modern muscle than this beautifully executed 1969 Ford F100 Ranger. Under the hood, an impressively swapped Gen 2 Coyote 5.0L engine brings modern performance and reliability paired with a smooth-shifting Ford 6-speed transmission, which gives this vintage pickup the heartbeat of a contemporary performance machine.
The suspension has been dialed in with DJM components up front, QA1 adjustable shocks in the rear, and CalTracs bars for added traction and stability. Wilwood 6-piston front brakes ensure this powerhouse can stop as well as it goes, and a 9-inch Posi rear end puts the power to the pavement with confidence.
While the performance upgrades are impressive, what truly makes this truck stand out is the attention to its original styling. From the stock grille and trim to the vintage dash and headliner, the F100 still proudly wears its heritage. Inside, a modern Ford bench seat blends seamlessly with classic instrument gauges, a Retro Sound Bluetooth stereo, and Vintage Air A/C, all integrated with care and craftsmanship. The fuel tank has been smartly relocated to the rear for more cabin space, showing just how well-thought-out this build really is.
Whether it’s cruising to a car show or just turning heads on the open road, this truck delivers on all fronts: style, performance, and drivability.
