Motormax Classic Chevrolet Pickups: 3100 Stepside, Apache or C10?

Published by

Light-blue Motormax 1:24 1958 Chevrolet Apache Fleetside pickup, 79311bl

Choose the 1957 Chevrolet 3100 for a Stepside subject, the 1958 Apache for that year's Fleetside pickup, or the 1966 C10 for a later classic Chevrolet. Year and bed style are the important distinctions. A blue or red Chevy truck is too broad a description when you are trying to match a particular vehicle.

1957 3100 Stepside: choose the specified bed style

The yellow 1957 Chevrolet 3100 Stepside, 79381y, is a 1:24 model with opening hood and doors. Its approximate listed dimensions are 7.75 × 3.25 × 3 inches.

The Stepside identity is a reason to choose this model, not a minor word to omit from a gift request. Compare the rear fenders and bed outline in the photographs with the truck you intend to represent. A Fleetside purchase should not be substituted solely because its cab looks familiar.

1958 Apache Fleetside: choose one finish within this identity

The light-blue Apache, 79311bl, and orange Apache, 79311or, share the stated 1958 Fleetside identity.

These are useful alternatives when color is the remaining decision after choosing the truck. Both list opening hood and doors and approximately 8 × 3.5 × 3-inch dimensions. Choose the finish that matches the display or the recipient's remembered vehicle rather than assuming one color has superior collector value.

1966 C10 Fleetside: a different model year, not another Apache color

The red 1966 C10 with cream roof, 73355AC-R, identifies the later C10 Fleetside. It lists an opening hood and doors and approximately 8 × 3.5 × 3-inch dimensions.

The cream roof is part of this release's finish. The cream C10, 73355crm, is a separate color choice, not another name for the red truck with its contrasting roof.

The cream listing gives different approximate dimensions from the red listing. Do not interpret that inconsistency as proof of a different body size; confirm measurements when exact enclosure fit matters.

What these models let you display

The checked releases document opening hoods and doors, making them relevant for showing the engine compartment and cabin as well as the exterior. An opening tailgate is not documented for these particular singles in this comparison.

That matters for a workshop or loading scene. A bed visible in a photograph does not establish a working tailgate, supplied cargo or compatibility with a separate camper. Choose the exact feature set rather than transferring functions from another Motormax truck.

Build a small Chevy-truck group without accidental duplicates

For a year-and-body comparison, choose one 1957 Stepside, one 1958 Apache Fleetside and one 1966 C10. For a collection centered on a single truck, select the right finish within that family instead.

For a nostalgia gift, check the year, nameplate and bed style before color. If the available model is a close match rather than an exact match, keep that distinction clear. All examples here are individual truck listings, not multi-truck assortments.
