Re: "Mable" 1959 Apache Build On A S-10 Frame
We cut the frame horns off of the stock 59 frame and just welded it to the front of the s-10 frame. With some cutting and trimming on the s-10 frame horns of course. But everything bolts up and lines up perfect!

Re: "Mable" 1959 Apache Build On A S-10 Frame
I am thinking of putting my 1959 short wide chevy body onto a 1995 P71 caprice frame. Ed from E-Z CHASSIS SWAPS, LLC told me that he has a pretty easy kit for sale for around $1500. The 59 is already a nice cruiser, but I own a service station and would really like to start driving it everyday for marketing around town. Anyone here done one on a P71 chassis?

Re: Eisenhower '59 Apache Build On A S-10 Frame
I'm in for some updates. I saw the slammed GMC cruising in Spring Hope a few weeks back down by Advance Auto. Looking good. Does Nate own an exhaust shop by chance?

Re: Eisenhower '59 Apache Build On A S-10 Frame
**SOME UPDATES**
Let's see here. We got the body back on the frame. Ended up shaving the drip rails. Was gonna be way to much rust repair to fix them, so we just shaved em. Pretty much been in mock stage for a few weeks now. Lining up doors (which is a HUGE pain in the rear.) Fixing tiny rust holes that keep popping up everywhere. Fixing gaps here and there. Currently have the front sheet metal back off to spray with some epoxy and slick sand. Once they're ready I'm sending em down to my painter. Then we're finishing up the body work on the cab, taking it back off the frame to send for paint then coating the frame with por. Pretty much on the short roads now fellas!!

Truck is looking good. Just played a little catch up. You may be on the short roads, but trust me, there is alot of them.

Re: Eisenhower '59 Apache Build On A S-10 Frame
This is where we're currently at. Front sheet metal body worked and primed. Working on the door bottoms now to get them ready for body work and primer...Don't mind the bird. My homie Nate is very photogenic, ha!
