Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
So...we've started to work on the new chassis a bit. We torched about 4 ft out of the middle of the frame (the dropped part) and welded it back up. This gives us a later model 4x4 frame with all the suspension/drivetrain mounts we need and a flat center frame section like the original. We also torched out the rivets for the crossmember at the front of the rear springs and flipped it to create clearance for the ram.
We had the frame sandblasted before coating it with about a dozen cans of glossy black.
We're starting to bolt parts to it now...
