We're doing well...keeping busy with everything but the 58! Scott has the truck at his shop now, hoping that will make it easier for him to work through the bodywork.

Thanks!...and welcome to the site, lot's of great people/builds/info here.

The cab is still at Scott's place. I spoke to him last week and he is trying to light a fire under it...we would like to have it back before the end of the year. I'm anxious to get back on it!!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

The cab's getting a little closer to being ready for primer. The doors and hood are locked down and the gaps are looking really good.

We're in final sanding with just a bit more glaze here and there...mainly in the engine bay and interior.

There will be more smoothing/sanding after primer, but it will be a huge step for me to have it one color.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

We've had a couple decent days of weather, so decided to get back on finishing the bedsides. I've been putting this off because I wasn't looking forward to all the sanding.

Anyway, spent half the weekend and got about a third of the bedsides done.

We are fine sanding the old sides back to fresh wood, floating some black paint onto them, sanding them back down to expose some grain, and then treating them with a Thompson water seal/stain.
