Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Alright, this is pretty close to where the body is going to sit...decent clearance around everything! We'll definitely be setting it up with body mount bushings...probably polyurethane, but maybe just rubber cut to size (the front mounts are close to the frame horns).

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Had to fix the inner rear passenger body mount brace and floor under the tank before we could jump into body mounts. Cut the old brace and floor rust out (the body channel underneath was good), fit a new piece and welded it in.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Spent way too much time making a new bottom half for the brace
 . At least it looks kinda like stock, oh well. Welded it in and then took a bit of a different path for the rear body mounts...used a piece of 3" channel to tie the body mounts together horizontally underneath the cab using urethane jeep bushing on either side. A simple down tube above each frame rail will get welded in (with inner frame gussets) once we get it positioned correctly.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Got the cab positioned and welded in the rear mount along with frame gussets. Also whittled a couple pieces of the 3" channel down to fit across the top of the frame for the front body mounts/rad support, used the same poly urethane bushings there too...only one between body and mount though...the driver side mount just barely clears the steering gear box.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
I'm interested to see how you rebuild the doors and hinges. My Cummins 55 truck doors rattle like a recycling bin on square wheels.
