Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

Not much to add other than PTO to pump shaft is in and we're back to patching doors...passenger side this time. We need to get the cab metalwork done and try and get color on this.

Thanks Kim, we're slowly working through the rust and holes on this door. We welded in the hinge access door to match the driver side (PO welded the hinge solid)...the lower part of both doors will be bed-lined. Also filled/smoothed multiple holes from two different sets of "truck" mirrors. We then drilled holes and welded nuts on the backside for a stock type mirror on the passenger side door.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

We worked through the driver side door, it was in better shape than the pass side...still had over a dozen different holes from mirrors over the years though.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

We also welded and smoothed the upper fender to cab seams...continuing our effort to make the cab and front clip one piece.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

Tonight we rounded off the mid front corner of both doors. I saw this on at least one build in here and thought it flowed nicely...so we thought we'd give it a try. We'll shape it a bit better once we spend some more time on lining up the doors...close for now though.
