How about some pics of 47-59 - Page 45 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Seamus · 11-07-2012, 07:31 AM

Great looking '50 - nothing like a black Chevrolet!!

Sin7 · 11-07-2012, 10:04 AM

RTK,

message me. I have the contact information for the previous owner/builder of the apache. He knows you're looking to get ahold of him. I spoke with him last night.

man this site is the best, where else would you get that random answer. got to love the comradery here.

**oldman3** · 11-07-2012, 10:43 AM

RTK, hated to hear it caught fire, that was a sweet ride. Need to post up pics of how it is now, and what you are doing. If you have a thread, lets us know...Jim

rtk · 11-07-2012, 09:34 PM

Pics of the interior and engine, I made the center console from an old one I got at the wreckers. Pictures in next post of the fire damage

rtk · 11-07-2012, 09:53 PM

pics of an electrical fire from the battery shorting out internally ans starting my jacket on fire that was above the battery box behind the passengers seat. I had the front of the truck on jack stands in the garage and was lucky enough to put out the fire with a hose.

mud.man.rj · 11-07-2012, 09:55 PM

Man that's a sad picture, at least the whole car didn't go up though.

rtk · 11-07-2012, 10:49 PM

Fire occurred August 2010. First picture was taken after rebuild August 2011. The other pics are from Sept 2012 at Radium British Columbia

99 to Life · 11-07-2012, 11:19 PM

dang now I'm shook, thats where I keep my bat. But I run kill switch, but still could happen. I think I might just put it a bat box now. What kind of battery? so glad you got it put out.

**oldman3** · 11-07-2012, 11:31 PM

That's some bad stuff, glad it wasn't any worse....Jim

Way cool extended cab Chevy...! And while it fits in the timeline of 47-59, it's not a Chevy but was my '59 American LaFrance... I had her for quite a few years...

nvrdone · 11-17-2012, 02:15 AM

RTK: Glad to see you got your ride bakc together so quickly. I'm still rebuilding mine 8 years after I rearended a Ford Expedition.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any info on your center console - did you build it & if so, what parts did you use. If you bought it, what's it out of ?
Thanks.

rtk · 11-17-2012, 08:04 PM

Hey nvrdone I think the storage area of the console was from a 90's mustang. I then took some sheet metal and bent it to fit around the front of the storage compartment and attached it with some screws. I recovered the whole console and used a piece of aluminum for the cup holders that I purchased from a boat parts store. I hope this helps. It took a while to find a console narrow enough to fit between the seats

nvrdone · 11-17-2012, 09:40 PM

RTK - thanks for the info - you'r right - it is hard to find something narrow enough to fit. Thanks much.
