    58 Chevy Apache on C10 frame.

    I put the 81' seat in it, but it's so wide I can only shut 1 door at a time, which I wouldn't mind too much if the driver door was the one with the working latch...and the volvo seats are in really rough shape....so back to the drawing board for seats.

    Good idea, i have the 81's isolaters that will work great. I'm only spot welding everything for now, and having a more experienced friend with a much more qualified eye and welder do the final welds. i could see that looking good. A shorter bed, with fleetsides, and oak floor...noted It took...

    Hello from Arkansas. 58 Apache project

    Haha DozerII, she wasnt too happy when she got home, but notice the catch tub, towels, and urgency. Sleeping on the couch gave me plenty of time to check all the torques and admire the motor. It's now complete and sitting on the front porch so i can look at it from the my comfy couch. =)

    Hello from Arkansas. 58 Apache project

    10-4, and thank you. My only safety concern at this point is the cab mounts. i love the look of the piston to firewall, but am unsure how ell it will hold.

    Hello all, My name is Jake, 28, and I'm from south Arkansas. I have moderately restored a few older vehicles(64 El Camino, 78 Camaro, 76 CJ5), but have gotten the itch for learning about performance and custom classics in the last couple years. A couple months ago i found a 58' Chevy Apache...
