Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Not getting much done, but still knocking out little things here and there...finished out the firewall/pedal/column mount support and fit in a engine oil cooler up front.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
The support looks really good! What dimension steel is that?

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks Rocktonka. Do you use dimple dies similar to these?

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Similar AD, but I use this set from Barbed Wire Offroad in TX...4140 material with a center hole so you can use a bolt instead of press if needed.
http://www.shop.barbedwireoffroad.co...3-4-2-8001.htm Compare the pricing...bang for the buck, it's hard to beat!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks again Kim!
My boy and I both like a tach up on the dash but the matching one to our gauges only came in a 3 1/8" OD. There's only one dash mount cup made for that size tach and it's plastic and expensive.  Soooo, we had a local exhaust shop stretch a section of 3" tubing out to 3 1/8" ID...nice, slight, press fit for the tach. We pie cut the back side of the tubing, hammered it into shape over a ball hitch, welded it up, and smoothed it a bit.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Our original plan was to smooth all the welds and make a nice, perfect, little, round, end to the cup (it's going to be powder coated a black silver vein...all the interior pieces we're making will be), but then it would look like we just bought it somewhere.
We decided to leave the seam welds exposed so that you knew it was homemade.  If I would have figured that part out initially, I would have laid prettier beads!  Anyway, made a simple mount for the cup and bolted it to the top of the dash.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks Jeff!
Not much to add, pulled the bumper to add some traction details for when we've got to climb up and check the oil or something

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
That looks awesome!!! I have to say I love the tach pod and want to say thanks for sharing that tip! That is sweet! I may have to buy some of those dimple dies. That sure is a fast way to add strength to a bracket or panel.
