1958 Apache frame measurements
Can anyone tell me the width center to center of the front and rear cab mounts and distance between front and rear mount center to center? I can't find a frame "schematic" or "diagram" for these trucks.
Thanks in advance , Dane |

Thanks a lot! I have been searching for days with no luck, what did you type in for the search? Or do you have a link to the full size image it gets really distorted when I zoom.

Re: 1958 Apache frame measurements
Do you know exactly how they're different? I'm going to use a 567 frame under my 59. I've already discovered the 59 frame is 2" longer overall and it's from the rad forward.
Any other differences?

Re: 1958 Apache frame measurements
The 58 59 frame is longer out front because the fenders are longer. The rad support brackets on the frame will need to be relocated a bit further forward. Not tottaly positive but I think the axle centreline etc is the same, wheelbase as well. I know because I have a 58 frame under my 57. Brackets had to bemoved back for rad support and frame is also too long so bumper on mine would be too far forward or on yours frame wouldnt be long enough out front to attach the bumper. Easy fix though. Measurements are in assembly manua I think.

Re: 1958 Apache frame measurements
There are frame drawings with dimensions in there.
Or customize your tailgate to accommodate the longer lumber. How much short are you? |
