Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

your front bushgaurd looks like it was factory made for the truck and blends in nicely, not right out there in your face like some of the modern 4x4 trucks have. tasteful is the word I guess.

have you done an alignment? maybe just the pics but wheels look toe'd out. that'll burn tires off fast if so.
love the metalwork detail. great job, thanks for posting.
Thanks, actually toe-in a bit much at 1/2"

This turned out really nice. What did you use on the inside of your back cab wall? That looks really clean.

Just carpet, our interior guy did a great job getting it to lay in there.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

Made it to a "truck gathering" north of OKC a couple weeks ago...no show or rewards, but lots of nice trucks. 2nd year for this event...Fri and Sat this year, heard there were over 750 trucks.
We took the burb, the Apache, and a couple square bodies...great event.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

I took this pic of the granddaughters playing on a swing hanging off the gin poles at the Truck Gathering.

I sent that and a few other pics of the Apache to a automotive cartoonist who produced the "tooned" version.

I really dig his work!

Absolutely! Ran over to a local hangout for Hot Rod Night (every Thursday)...the oldest grand daughter insisted on riding with me. Good times for both of us
