Gotta love how easy these trucks are to tear down and put back together. Lets hope that's the last time you have to tear it down that far again. Looking really nice bud

Re: My 1959 apache project
 
Thanks Im also anxious to fire it up but now im side tracked fixing the rust issues I have left which are the fenders and bottom of the doors. I ordered the inner door patches hope they are not that difficult to do
