Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Decided to replace the parts house special gear box with something a bit nicer...picked up a PSC box. Also ran around and had a few hydraulic lines made...just keep chipping way!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
First time I'm going thru this build thread. It's funny, once you had this running and driving on the 19.5's, most folks including myself would have been content. But you blew that completely outta the water! lol.... Awesome build you have going on man. And that's cool as hell that you have 3 generations helping you out. Keep up the killer work brotha!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Maybe I missed it but did you weld the interior cab seams or are you just filling them with "kitty hair" filler or whatever?

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Nice! What about the seams in the door openings? Weld them up and then filler of some sort to smooth them out?

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
So that is going to be a "One-Piece" complete cab and front clip when you are all done. The only remove-able sheetmetal will be doors and hood pretty much?
I guess with all the welded joints you wont have to worry too much about bondo breakout with potholes and bumps and such.... Lookin great.... Lot-O-work!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Yep, pretty much a 4 piece cab and front clip!
![]() The entire assembly is fairly rigid...tying in the inner fenders to the firewall stiffened it up quite a bit, triangulation of sorts. The frame is fairly rigid also, crossmembers, steps, and plating add to that. All in all, I hope that there won't be much difference between chassis flex and body flex...and we're trying to minimize the amount of bondo also. But, time will tell!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Not much to report...still trying to work through the smoothing/shaping stage.
Our buddy Scott has been busy with his life and we only have a few moments here and there to work on the 58. I wish we were more experienced with this stage of the build and could move forward on our own, but we need his help. These pics look a lot like the older pics, but we are making some progress...doors are very close to where they need to be, body lines are being massaged together, and low spots and seams are disappearing.
