Intro and my 1961 ap 10 project.
Hello guys, I wanted to introduce my self and introduce my 1961 chevy apache 10 project.
I recently purchased a 1961 chevy apache 10 with a earlier model hood, I believe 62-66. I like this hood more than the original hood. It's a matching number truck ( engine and trans ) all original. Interior seems to be complete, besides the missing OEM radio , rear view mirror , and sun visors. It's a 3 on the tree or also known as on the column, but I'm still learning some of the lingo. I also own a 68 Camaro ss which is about 90% done. I'm also an import guy so I have some love for my Hondas. A bit about me, My name is edwin. 29 years old. Married Family man Located in San Antonio Tx. I own my business which is a Classic barbershop named ( Los Barberos Classic Barbershop ). Go look us up on Facebook and give us a like. I also have an Instagram account ( edwin_losbarberos) give me a follow. My objective here is to learn about my truck and related trucks as much as I can. To buy and sell parts that I need and don't need. To help members with questions I can answer and ultimately to be a great respectful trustworthy member. That's about all I can think about but if you guys have any questions don't hesitate asking. I'll conclude this thread with a few pictures of my two projects aka "money pits" [/URL] |

Re: Intro and my 1961 ap 10 project.
TjsChevy: I been hearing that.
65sub: I plan to keep and rebuild the original engine and trans. It's getting body work , paint, interior, electrical and engine trans work done right now. I might air ride it and just cruise it. I bought a driver side fender here off a great member "jimmy" without the spare tire so that will make it look a bit cleaner. |

Welcome !!
One of the nicest intros yet. Neat rides too. Love the clean painted engine bay. The pile of number plates at the till got my attention too, as I collect plates. Keep the pics and stories coming.

Re: Intro and my 1961 ap 10 project.
Thank you for the love guys. I plan to start a build thread for my 61 apache. So in the next weeks I will gather up some pictures and info to keep it as organized as possible. I'm still learning about my AP10 so along the way I will have some questions as well.

Re: Intro and my 1961 ap 10 project.
Thank you sir, the plates are actually the plates I registered my truck with. They're 1961 Texas truck plates. I do collect license plates , but I hang those at my barbershop.

Re: Intro and my 1961 ap 10 project.
Greetings and welcome. You've come to the right place. Good luck with your projects. Love the Camaro. I once had a 68 4 speed Firebird. Man that was a fun car. Like rocketing around in a sleeping bag compared to the truck!

Re: Intro and my 1961 ap 10 project.
Haven't got a chance to organize the progress but here's a picture when the old rusted rockers were cut out. We ended up doing the whole floor as well. |

Re: Intro and my 1961 ap 10 project.
Ok so I pulled out my 235 straight 6 3 speed. I'm debating if I should rebuild it or should I go with a bigger build? What recommendations do you guys give? I really want to go bigger but don't want to do a lot of modifications In order to go bigger... |
