Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks Kim, we appreciate that! At the very least, the previous work done may have protected/preserved the truck enough to make it into our hands.
Got in some Crow lap belts today (ordered on Mon). ![]()

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Sweet build. Started lookin at it when it first started a few years ago but it's come a long way! That cowl you built is sick! Keep up the great build and fab work. It'll all come together in the end if you keep your eye on the prize.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Not much to add, been ordering some parts here and there...bunch of little stuff. We spent some time this weekend reworking the rear of the bed and added LED brake lights, reverse lights, and rear facing rack lights.

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 |

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... ![]() |
