Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thank you Kim
Just making more work for you to straighten out!! ![]() Thanks AD! Appreciate that CD! Thanks DW, we just needed a break from sanding through the years of paint on the doors. ![]() On that note, we started on the hood...this time using both paint strippers and sanding. It might have been easier to have these media blasted somewhere, but right now we have more time than money...so it's time we're spending! ![]()

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Also pulled the light buckets to start fitting in the halo HIDs...heavy undercoating way back when kept these parts in pristine condition.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Nice work! Pre sandblasting those buckets, they kind of looked questionable huh?

Yep, one less thing to worry about. Yea, we were kinda wondering what might be underneath...those coatings can be a blessing or a curse, either protecting base metal or holding crap against it.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Pulled the cab for the last time hopefully...still have alot of work left on it though. Took advantage of the opportunity to pull the chassis out and wash a bit of the dust off before moving the batteries down to the frame...also bolted a few things on to check fit before sending the steps out for powdercoating.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Just busy making up the bracket to move my 66's battery from the engine bay to under the cab.
Yours looks 100 times more slick though.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks Grizz, I took the easy way out and picked up a dual battery box from Ruffstuff Industries. All I had to do was weld a couple tabs off the bottom to mount it where we did.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Based primarily on discussions here regarding the integrity of cheap aftermarket columns, we decided to replace our cheap aftermarket column with a known name brand.
![]() After reviewing available options, we elected to go with a Flaming River column. The difference in quality is evident in both the fit and finish and "feel".

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
We picked up the steps from our powder coater this morning...less than a 24 hr turn-around! We really like working with them...Tops Powdercoating in OKC flat out delivers!
![]() My son thought that the mud flaps were boring and had an idea to make them pop. We spent the evening working some 3" x 1/8" aluminum strap into these pieces...we really like how they flow with the rest of the truck.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Very VERY Smart.
This really is an amazing build you are doing. As mentioned elsewhere before, we may end up driving close by you in October, I still need to get my side mouldings an S/S bed strips from Mar-K but they are holding out on the extra 10% discount, which to us travelling means a lot in the greater scheme of things. Who knows...?

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Nice detail on the mud flaps. Carrying the theme on in a tasteful way.
Good idea on getting a quality steering column. Your truck is so awesome. |

The mud flap trim matches and looks killer! The steps look awesome too!
