My 58 Apache stepside (pics soon)

[TX58]

Here's my project, a 1958 Chevy Apache. I have always wanted a 50's Chevrolet truck. My uncle had a 55 when I was a kid and I always admired the lines and style of these trucks. Now that I'm in my 40's I can finally afford to work on a project like this. I took some time last spring to knock down my dads old garage and built a decent little shop (24' X 30') with a 24' X 20' carport and a little office/ bathroom. It's got pretty much everything but a lift (working on getting one this year). I originally started to work on my 92 Trans Am convertible but once I got the truck the TA has been put on the shelf. I have learned a lot from this forum and from working on the 58. The engine (283) has been sent out for a rebuild and my 3 speed tranny has been freshened up wit with new bearings,gaskets,and seals.I've taken off the bed and front end to clean and paint the frame. All fenders have had some kind of crappy work done to them so I'm not sure if I'm going to repair them or buy new,doors the same. The grille and bumpers will get new Chrome parts and the truck needs a new wire harness. Last will be trim,glass, and fresh upholstery. Lots of time and money will be needed, but I will end up with a nice truck when it's done. Also a few good friends from this forum I hope.
