Hi all, my name is Nick. I am currently in Indiana, but grew up in the Southern California area.
Above are a few pics of my Dad's Original 1958 Apache. This was sold by my sister out of spite. After almost 17 years, I am going to be bringing it home with me where it belongs.

I have been lurking here since about 2 weeks ago and decided to join. Looking forward to meeting some of you eventually.

Awesome truck and from the pics it looks to be mostly original. Many would kill to have that natural patina your truck has. What are your plans for the truck?

I am from So Cal also....and my dad has a 58 apache just like that one :metal:

Welcome to the board!

Thanks...Currently, I am planning on getting it here and then just being able to drive it a bit. Long term, like 2 years , is a complete frame-off restoration, a mild suspension drop. Dropped front axle,flip the rear and that's about it after the frame off. I'll more than likely drive it this year,spring/summer then it's in the heated garage til next spring.
I have many memories in this truck with my dad. If it weren't his, I'd end up bagging it, and making a rat out of it. I love the patina it has.

Welcome to the site from Big Sandy, West Tennessee.


That is a gem. That it belonged to your dad makes it a "priceless gem" What does it have for a drive train?.

Thanks Tony and Ron, as for running gear, it has and I will keep the original 283 in it with the three on the tree. Plenty of power for cruise nights and I have always loved the three speed in it.
