RTK,

message me. I have the contact information for the previous owner/builder of the apache. He knows you're looking to get ahold of him. I spoke with him last night.

pics of an electrical fire from the battery shorting out internally ans starting my jacket on fire that was above the battery box behind the passengers seat. I had the front of the truck on jack stands in the garage and was lucky enough to put out the fire with a hose.

dang now I'm shook, thats where I keep my bat. But I run kill switch, but still could happen. I think I might just put it a bat box now. What kind of battery? so glad you got it put out.

Way cool extended cab Chevy...! And while it fits in the timeline of 47-59, it's not a Chevy but was my '59 American LaFrance... I had her for quite a few years...

RTK: Glad to see you got your ride bakc together so quickly. I'm still rebuilding mine 8 years after I rearended a Ford Expedition.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any info on your center console - did you build it & if so, what parts did you use. If you bought it, what's it out of ?
Thanks.

rtk 11-17-2012 08:04 PM

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 
Hey nvrdone I think the storage area of the console was from a 90's mustang. I then took some sheet metal and bent it to fit around the front of the storage compartment and attached it with some screws. I recovered the whole console and used a piece of aluminum for the cup holders that I purchased from a boat parts store. I hope this helps. It took a while to find a console narrow enough to fit between the seats

RTK - thanks for the info - you'r right - it is hard to find something narrow enough to fit. Thanks much.
