![]() Thanks for the props! ![]() Cool, glad ya like...thanks Kim! Not much more to add, but finished the lower pivot mounts. There will be 3/8" rubber strips between the frame and bed feet, hence the gap between feet and frame/gusset...hope to quiet some of the rattling.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Great work guys! That should be able to lift more than you can haul!

We finished up the lift mounts today (upper pivots)...boxed the front two feet of the bed frame and welded in sleeves. The pins slid right in and the scissor part of the lift is done!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Nice thanks for the info.... just may do that with mine so I can run electric cut-outs too. For track days I want to just run straight "FIRE" out the sides behind the front tires like a zoomie !!!!!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Appreciate that Kim.

![]() ![]() We added a bit more tonight, welding in a support bar for the back of the lift which is also the upper rear shock mount...then had to fit the sway bar in before figuring out where the shocks would lay, but we like how it all fell into place.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Working out sway bar details...apparently a 1 9/16" bar is unheard of, couldn't find replacement bushings anywhere. We ended up ordering some 1 1/2" bushings...should be fine.
Made the sway bar links/tabs tonight...baby steps. ![]()

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks Kim.
Fab work on the bed is done. We pulled it off for deburring and final smoothing, hope to get it into the sand blasters this next week. Now, we'll jump back into the cab again.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
We hope so Kim. Kinda tall in the last pic, it sits a fair amount higher with the bed off the chassis...we're making bets over here on how much this is going to end up weighing.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Got the bed and scissors cleaned up...knocking off dingleberries, and a bit of smoothing.
We hauled those to the sand blasters today for both cleaning and painting...blast to white metal, primer, and heavy gloss black paint (industrial level, these guys do alot of oil field stuff). We decided to go ahead and prep and paint the rear of the frame next (more de-dingleberrying and smoothing right now), in preparation for the finished bed coming back...maybe within this next week.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Yea, the blasters did a great job.
While we're waiting on the bed to be painted (should pick it up Sat.), my son smoothed some glaze into the low spots and laid the first coat of black onto the rear frame rails...

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Picked up the bed and scissors today, very happy with the work done.
Primer coat+couple coats of black+clear coat= ![]() ![]() We'll let it sit for a couple days to fully cure before fooling with it too much.
