Re: New Guy from LA, 58 Apache
welcome, that looks like a really nice start for a truck project. What's the master plan?

Re: New Guy from LA, 58 Apache
Hey Bud, nice to see your truck. Bam is right, $300 for that is FREEEE! Outstanding deal.
"Lay frame" - So, you're going with IFS? Cause in case you don't know you can't do that with a straight axle. Have you researched enough yet to know your options? Mustang II set ups, C4 Vette via Flat Out Engineering components, Jag IFS transplant, Scott's, No Limit Wide Ride IFS, Porterbuilt bolt on, etc, etc. Keep the posts coming with pictures. A lot of knowledgeable guys here. Best, Dan

Re: New Guy from LA, 58 Apache
The truck is looking pretty nice! I bet that bed wasn't too easy to find was it? It sure would be like finding a needle in a hat stack here.

Re: New Guy from LA, 58 Apache
Looking great! Love the Old School 3 carb set on up the small block and the stance! What are you running for suspension? I did a Camaro clip and a Airbag 4-Link on mine.
