New from DFW- 60 LWB apache

[ftgmotorsports]

Hello all! I am the owner of a small parts company and I have been longing for a 1960 Apache since I can remember. My great grandfather was a WW2 vet at Normandy and was also my school crossing guard in elementary school. I drove to school with him everyday and drove home with him from k-3rd grade. I had many of stories and memories riding around in that old step side. I am building this one to honor his life and impact he had on my life. He was my hero in many ways.... I have a LOT of questions so please bear with me as I learn some things. Without further- meet Ralph (Great Grandfather name).

I bought it from a gentleman who has already restored and coated the whole frame and brake system... as well as has rebuilt the motor and trans and installed all new hard brake lines and new bushing along with mostly new hardware.... new radiator and a nearly flawless interior. This has been worked on sitting in a storage unit for 20 years... he just wanted out of it and the payments to the storage unit.















I already got a 2005 5.3 swap for it and I have questions for you all about it. I will read as much as I can though and ask the least amount of questions possible.
