Here is a pic of 1958 Apache 36 long stepside purchased by dad but putting my labor for ownership of truck.

50's burb · 09-12-2009, 10:52 PM

This is my Dad's 50 they have started on it and should hopefully be finished early summer 2010. It will have a 5.3l out of a 2002 chev p/u with an s10 front clip and a custom frame the rest of the way back so the floor can be dropped six inches to get the room needed for him to get in with a wheel chair. I did end up with the frame with the rebiult 6 cylinder and an automatic tranny in it a great start to something for me.

I gotta say- there are some very nice trucks here. I love the body style of the older trucks. My next project (hopefully) will be something like FiftyTwo's-- that is a clean ride!!

rare86 · 10-03-2009, 10:49 PM

My 51. I just drive it as is. No plans right now, just drive and enjoy.

MrTucker · 10-05-2009, 12:15 PM

thats going to be a slick suburban

**youngrodder** · 10-30-2009, 04:16 PM

Here's mine. I am going on a 9 yr build. When I started I was single with no kids. This build has survived a marriage and two small boys.
I am in the final assembly stage. I hope to be able to drive it by next fall.

95 LT1, 4760E, air ride on a modified g-body frame. At some point I need to make a decision on wheels. Either 20" or 22".

This will give you a better idea of what the custom mix green looks like

lownslowtexaco · 10-31-2009, 01:49 PM

The interior will be all black. Bucket seats and a custom center counsel. Chrome tilt Ididit column with a billet specialties steering wheel. digital gauges and vintage air A/C.

Be careful what you wish for. This project started out much simpler many years ago.
