Thank you DW...getting the bed back on the truck frees up the lift for the car!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

Nice Nice build. Your craftsmanship is amazing. This is going to be one wicked truck. What year CJ5 is that and what motor do you have in it? Thanks

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

Thanks lower50's, we appreciate that!

The jeep is a 73 that we've been working on for over 20 some years...the current drivetrain is a fairly modified Ramjet 502/Turbo400/203-205 set-up. We don't make the time to take it out much anymore...kind of a shame. We've been thinking about selling/trading it off, but it's hard when you've had something that long.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

Had a rear driveshaft made this week...kinda long at about 70". We went with a 4" shaft to provide a greater rpm rating for that length.

I hear you!! I've had my 67 CJ5 for 21 years nothing stock with a 4.3L.
Keep up the good work.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

Thanks Kim!

Not much to add, been busy with life I guess. The boy and I spent some time on the pass door, new bushings/pins and got it fairly close to where we want it...gonna need a bit of perimeter trimming though. We've also been playing around with a visor...not too sure about it, but it's growing on us.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

I think the visor will look more in place with a windshield in there. I like the look. When is the cab and front clip scheduled to get shot?

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

Thanks DW!

The 2 1/2" and 3" dimple dies came in on Saturday, can't say enough good things about Barbed Wire Off Road http://www.shop.barbedwireoffroad.com/

...they made the 3" die the same day I called and had them on my doorstep 2 days later.

We had to work around a center brace on the visor...drilling out the spot welds and pulling the brace to dimple the middle. Popped a center hole and a few more spot weld holes in the brace and welded/smoothed it back in.
