Re: My '59 Apache
Your build is coming together nicely and it is a joy to feel the enthusiasm you have as you're working on your truck.
Looking good, Jim |

Re: My '59 Apache
Is that a supplied resporator? Good for you. Paint is fun, but wicked animal.

Re: My '59 Apache
Denee
i have a supplied air system as well... have had it for years... a good friend in a local body shop died a few years back... he had been painting for years... the name "Faribran"... is what we named our property. it is a portion of the names of 3 family members; spouse, Faye (FA), mine, Richard (RI), son, Brandon (BRAN). :-) i am impressed with all the things you have done and are still doing to your truck...

Re: My '59 Apache
I've been following your build and I just had to tell you how impressed I am at the work you're doing. My wife is a gear head that loves to do things on her own too and you just don't find that very often anymore. I have to commend you for taking on as much of this work as you have. Keep up the great work on this worth while little project truck. It's going to be a real head turner

Re: My '59 Apache
Don't stop, you will begin to rust and seize up. Your Brit friend was just mad there wasn't an old MG in there (TC was my first auto love and still would like to have one, blame the book "The Red Car").

Wiring~ so far so good! ; )
Hi! I didn't think I'd ever figure out the headlight wiring, but I got them working! I was worried that maybe somewhere along the way I didn't wire something correctly, but I guess I followed the directions as stated. ; ) I just had to put the truck back down on the ground again! I hope to have it running soon~ I did stop by my local exhaust shop and he made me a couple pipes (mini headers) to come off of my block huggers, but he didn't bend them enough, no biggy. I changed my mind about doing the exhaust myself, I've been having enough neck problems~ I don't need to aggravate it anymore than I already have. Maybe if I had a full lift in a large open garage I might have~wishful thinking!

Re: My '59 Apache
Good morning!
Yesterday Dave Chapman come over to see about making a relay system for my electric fan, but while he was here, I had tried to start my engine but couldn't get it to lite!! I had gas but no fire coming out of the plug wire from the HEI dist. Luckily Dave drove up and I got his input; ). We found a problem but still no fire. After Dave left, I went to pull the dist cap off again, but this time I found that the plug that plugs into the dist cap( not the batt wire), one of the terminals wasn't all the way into its place and wasn't making contact! This time, I turned the key~ and vroom! ; ). I hot wired my electric fan to work so I could run the engine up to operating temp, then top off the fluids. I couldn't run it too much longer as the loudness was getting to me! But it runs!!!!!!!! I may just pay the bucks and have a wrecker come get it and take it to the muffler shop! But was really nice to see Dave!! ; ) Dne' Posted via Mobile Device

Re: My '59 Apache
You guys are so Terrific! ; )
Well, while waiting on another set of headers, long tube this time, I'm working on getting my radio functioning! I hope this works, but I put my remote brake fluid reservoir from Scotts on the kick panel. The tubes run behind the kick panel. If for some reason it doesn't flow, I'll redo the kick panel. Amazing how long it takes to get small things accomplished! ![]() Posted via Mobile Device This is not my truck, but I found this pic while googling. I think I was looking at wheels/tires. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device
