Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks Randy! The Camaro is a 68, picked it up a couple months ago...gonna build it up for the wife.
![]() Thanks Owen, we're trying to keep the fire lit on the 58!! Worked on the bumper a bit more today and got a good start on the mid-body mounts...hope to finish those tomorrow night.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks Kim, we still have to plate the top gap...I've been putting that off.
![]() We did finish up the mid-mounts tonight though! The body is officially on the frame. ![]()

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
BC, Orrie...Thanks!
Little here, little there...keep chipping away at it! Found a simple battery box at a local circle track shop...easier than making one ![]() Cut apart and rewelded the header reducers and a 3 1/2" 90 to turn the exhaust parallel to the frame. With everything we'll have going on behind the cab, I may just drop some Flowmasters on and dump to the side behind the cab.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
bumper looks good. should have made it a fold down so you could use it as a step ladder

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Still working on patching/filling/smoothing the floor/cab in preparation for lining the inside. Both my son and I have been too busy with work/life to get more than an hour or two a night in

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks Luther!
Worked on filling the top gap left from flipping the bumper over. Cut pieces and fit in along the top edge, welded up all the seams...I'm not looking forward to the grinding it's going to take to smooth it all out! ![]()

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
I'm also really struggling with the need for steps of some sort. It's tall enough to need them, I just don't usually like the look of steps.
My boy and I decided to make a simple set that was based on two sections of c-channel running under the frame side to side. The height is right, acts as a cross member of sorts to tie the frame together, is easily removed, and is pretty stout. ![]() We fit 2" tube to the outside and will plate the top. It looks like it sits down low and sticks out too far, but will tie in well once we fit the bed and underbody boxes back on to the chassis and is at a good position to be effective steps. Oh, while it may not look like it, the exhaust/mufflers will fit between the steps and body. When its all said and done, if I really don't like them...4 bolts and they're gone. ![]()

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Great work. The bumper and steps look great and those headers and exhaust look killer!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Not much to add, but keep chipping away. We had an old 1350 CV shaft that we were hopeful would fall into place for the front...turns out it was just a couple inches too short. We had it re-tubed, swapped out yokes at the transfer case and axle, and front drive shaft is in!
