My New Toy! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

GMC71V8 · 12-24-2008, 03:14 PM

I just bought a 1958 Apache! Here are some Pics. Plans are to keep her running as long as possible while restoring her to a nice driver, nothing too crazy. And yes, the flames will go away. Can anyone recommend a donor vehicle seat that will fit these trucks without much fab? The wife wants to ride and I gotta find a seat for her!

Thanks!

Very sweet looking truck. There's a few of us running Honda seats in our trucks. I have yet to see anyone use a Honda stereo. Gotta keep that one in there...lol But, once again, sweet looking truck

Eh, it has a two speed power glide, and I am not too big a fan of the shifter. It will be replaced once I get a 3 speed or a 700R.

If you don't like the donor idea and want a stock look with a slider and the use of the under seat, check this out:
