59 Fleetside SWB

[reddzx]

New guy here, but not new to automotive forums. I bought this unfinished 1959 Apache Fleetside project from a friend a few weeks ago. I'm working on completing the wiring before starting anything else.

It had a body off frame repair/repaint, new mono leaf front suspension with disc brakes and lowering spindles, C-notch rear with a ? Pontiac rearend. All new springs, shocks and poly bushings throughout. fresh .30 over 350 with rebuilt 400Th, lokar shifter. I'm starting to collect all the part I need for panel repairs. I have a new chrome grill and just had the hood blasted and primed. LMC sent me the wrong side fender tip repair patch panels so I'm waiting for them to send me the correct ones. Replace the cab corners, fill some holes in the doors from who knows how many different side mirrors over the years. I'm looking for a good drivers door so I don't have to replace the bottom. the PO put a new wood bed kit in it so that's is in basically good shape.













I was into 60 to 66 chevy trucks before that. Here's a picture of my last chevy truck project. 1964 suburban, 327, 350TH.
