Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Wow!! I just read through the majority of this thread and now I don't even remember what I was originally looking for. You guy's are doing a fantastic job!
I noticed your rear disk conv. and I had a hard time finding good info on doing one on a dually. I know yall did that a long time ago but could you post up some more info for those of us with k30's Thanks, Matt |

Nice work on the flat bed. It'll definitely be bright back there. Keep up the great work, and I hope you guys have a Merry Christmas too!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Made it through the holidays and starting to work on the truck again. Had to make a few changes to our jeep and liberated some shocks that we repurposed for the 58.
We had to make some new upper mounts to accommodate the slightly longer shocks, but other than that they fell into place.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Not much, but felt like we needed some recovery points up front. We sourced some d-rings and mounts locally and welded them into the bumper.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Great welds, grade 8 bolts...bumper and tow hook supports aren't going to be pulled off.
Can you provide any details on the HID package / kit? The lights are going to be bright! Bet it has been awhile since you used the pool table...

I'll get back with details on the HID kits later today, and yea, the pool table hasn't been used for a few months.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
AD, haven't got into the lights too far yet but here's a little better pic of the parts and pieces of the HID kit...offered by a company called Kensun. They're going for about $100/kit...I think.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks Rocktonka! Gotta check them out for my build. The old sealed beams leave a lot to be desired in comparison to what I've gotten used to with the newer wheels....and we have a lot of deer running around here. Better chance to see them with better lights.
Thanks again. |

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Changing things up a bit. We've been thinking that we needed to replace the retreads up front with new tires, and did that a couple weeks ago. As we were thinking of spare tire options and what would make sense, it somehow snowballed into new tires all the way around with new wheels.
 We've just got the front done so far (need to sell the old wheels/tires for the rest), but we're really liking the new set-up.

Other than the caps over the lockouts that is just sick and will look awesome with the 58 body!

Got the open center caps in, and like them the least out of the three options of open, closed, or no cap. The open caps are deeper than the closed...looks kinda funny and makes for a hell of a crap trap  The no cap look is fine, and would be the most practical, but I like the closed cap look best...it's only 2 phillips screws holding it on and would be easy to pop off when 4WD is needed.
