Re: wiw: 1958 chevrolet apache 38 panel

IF it is TRULY just going to be scrapped then you should be able to pick it up for a few bucks more than the scrap value. If the guy is just saying that to generate interest then it lets make a deal time. The photo shows bad rust in the fender eyebrow and behind the front wheel where they all rust. If its bad there check the bottom of the doors, cowl and possible floor where it attaches to the cowl. Check the bottom of the barn doors in back, they are not reproduced and hard to find, also the sill below. Rear fender top and behind. Sheetmetal on the panels , except for doors and front clip do not interchange. This one is a relatively rare long panel, probably on a 3/4 or 1 ton chassis. Also look at the windshield frame, especially at the top eye brow and bottom. When panels show up for sale here in the last year or so they have been priced from 3K for good driver needing restored with a little rust to 7K for working truck with good 20' paint and interior.
