1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

[abebummy26]

Awesome truck exactly how I would build one. The dump bed would be really handy. One of my neighbor's has a 68 c30 327 4v. That I really want to get my hands on. Its a little rougher body wise than yours. It's original paint though. and still looks really good.

Abe, you are going to so hate me. this is the 69 I am going to drag back from Oregon. 350 Q-jet, 4 speed, c30 dually with dump bed. Haven't decided if I want to leave it a dump or find a longhorn bed and make that into a dually dump bed.

It seems like a nice truck dump bed rocks leave it a dually though.

I don't hate you I actually prefer the one around the corner, with the 327 which would get swapped out with big block. And the 327 would find a home in something a little more high performance. Not needing the grunt of a big block. I like the 68 front clip a lot better as well.

What wheelbase is your truck?

[OrrieG]

I think its 130" (maybe 133?). Here is what I am thinking, with the bed set up to tilt. But I have seen some nice ones with the flat bed that have been lowered too. Longhorn bed is the correct wheelbase.

Awesome truck I do love blue on 67-68s

[OrrieG]

More inspiration. I located two Longhorn beds sort of close by, but a little short on cash.

Orrie where did you find this picture. I would like to get some more info about that shop.

How do yall think that pinon brake will work? Do you plan on doing a rear disc swap on that 14 bolt?

[OrrieG]

I am pretty sure I just did a google search on this site OR on google images and grabbed the first Longhorn that showed up.

The output brake "should" work fairly well...don't think I'd trust my life to it, but it should hold the truck in place within reason. My boy got all the parts together a year or so ago to do a rear disc set-up on the 14B...we will probably build up another 14B housing for the new rolling chassis and keep the truck driving until the last second.

Couple pics at the new place...
