Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
I like the idea of a blue upper / silver lower. that's just the reverse of what most people would do. how about printing a B&W picture of the truck & then taking some colored markers to it to get an idea.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Did you use part of the bread van frame ?
Beautiful truck 😊 I have a 38 dually too and need to do a custom frame like yours Any info you could provide would be sweet 🇨🇦 I’ve read this thread a few times but still not clear on the frame . |

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Looks great . Crazy the amount of time body work takes . And you started with a good truck! It's amazing what we have to fix up here in the rust belt. You guys scrap stuff we would think is gold daily.
Keep up the great work.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Me personally, I would do metal flake gold and some black pin striping on there.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
I think it would really make the truck unique especially with the right pin-striping.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Maybe I missed it but did you weld shut or use filler over the internal cab roof seams? In one of the photos it looks like they’re no longer visible.
If welded, was this problematic, or just slow to keep from warping? If filled, did you use filler with fiber in it aka “kitty hair” filler or just ordinary filler? Thanks for any info.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks Ryan!
We picked up the hood and rad/latch cover today, it was nice seeing the color in the sun...also got our first good look at the contrast between paint and powder coating.
