Re: 1958 Apache Big Window Loooooong Bed "Lucky"

Man that looks like a sweet start to a truck! I think you'll find a few threads would love to have been "get her going" and turned into big snowballs of a rebuild. My truck started with a get-er-goin' mantra and I was able to get the 235 up and running. The next step was much more difficult and that was to get her safely to home depot and back for the envy points.

The problem you may find, as I did, is a truck that sits will have lots of issues with cracked and aging rubber and wiring. Check under the dash and in the door for those lovely nests. I had a giant one behind the dash and it covered the steering column. Awesome!

Rust will also be an issue with trying to get things moving like working brakes, parking brake, etc. How does it look under the hood?

Maybe start with tires? Working headlights? lol
