'58 grocery getter

[nail pounder]

Good evening all, I'm sitting in the garage looking through this forum, just killing time basically & I figured I'd start a build thread on my truck. It won't be as exciting as a frame off or s10 swap so don't get your hopes up. To be honest I'm not sure where I'm going with it, but because it's mostly original I'll keep it simple. I've always liked the TF body style, especially the Apache's, I think it's the dual headlights on each side, the grill and definitely the fleetside for me. Anyway, they have always been out of my budget, but I have consistently looked at CL for deals, or "the deal" rather for a few years. Gotten close to buying a rolling chassis once, and another time a "complete truck" but it was all taken apart. Well in Jan this year i found my truck. It was a one owner truck, passed away and left it to his daughter. She stored it for 15 years then had her mechanic got it running. It proved to be too much of a project for her so it sat another 5years until she sold it to me. Since I've gotten it we've mostly just cleaned it up and given it some TLC. It's a 3200, got a 235, 3 on the column and unfortunately it was repainted in the 70's so its not a survivor truck, but it's still cool. Here's some pics of when I bought it. More to come.
