Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Sweet! That was pretty innovative cutting the dropped sections of frame out.
I am digging the new shop.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Spent the evening/morning getting the rear 14B cleaned up and under the chassis.
Stock springs in the back with 6 in. BDS springs up front leveled out the chassis perfectly ![]()

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
You guys must eat sleep,and live in that garage to get all that work done.my brother does too.i spent the day taking a 14bolt-ff out of my truck and putting a itty bitty 12 bolt 1/2 toner in it.....for better hi-way gears.my son decided to bail on me so it was just a father build.
You guys >rock<....

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Yep it wont be long now. Once you have it able to roll it always inspires you to keep going . What are the plans for cab mounts etc? Driveline next before any cab related stuff?
Keep up the great work. You help motivate all of us!!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Speaking of making decisions, did you ever consider putting a cummins in this truck?

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
If I remember correctly, '4BT' was thrown around after they bought the bread van (which donated its axles). 454 gonna be cool though.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Those duals look amazing. You guys do great work. I am excited to see that drivetrain sitting in it. That frame turned out great.

Sharp eyes may have noticed that the calipers weren't mounted in the pics of the rolling chassis. The wheels were hitting the calipers about 1/2" before the WMS. The shortest spacer we could get was 1"...they fit fine now.

I've lurked around a few of your threads and really like your trucks. Especially the before and after pictures, nicely done.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Looks good! I would upgrade to some steel spacers later though.
Yep the two wheels go on at the same time then you bolt them both down. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks Dino!!
Working on both the burb and the 58 this weekend...not much to show for it, but pretty much got the drivetrain sitting in there. Few little issues getting it in there...block huggers don't fit and we'll have to rotate the alt from below the bracket we made to above it. Stock tranny crossmember won't work, we'll have to fab something up. ![]()

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Did you get your 205/4500 already assembled, or did you bolt them together? The reason I ask is I wanted to know if you have pictures of the coupler.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
It's looking very nice! But I have to agree, a 6 cylinder would make that truck so much more fun.
