1959 Chevrolet Apache SWB Fleetside project

.030 over 350 with Duntov 30-30 cam, gear drive timing, Edelbrock carb. and manifold, block hugger headers with 3” exhaust, Flowmaster 40's, HEI distributor, 400TH transmission, Lokar shifter, Olds 8.2” 3.73 rear end. Mono leaf suspension with front disc brake conversion. Poly bushings front and back.

It’s still a little rough but it’s coming along. 1965 Thunderbird bucket seats, 1954 Chevy steering wheel.

It's getting sandblasted, new cab corners, new sheet metal where needed and a coat of catalyzed flat black primer.

[GRIMSS]

My '53's I just got home today.




Great grandfather bought this one new. It's rough, but I had to have it.

Greetings from the 73-87 side of the forum. I just picked up this '50 last Saturday. Needs cab rust repair but all the repair panels (LMC) came with the deal. Later on I'll be looking for a hood and a rear fender. The truck will rest on an S-10 chassis, air ride, SBC/700R.

Working on my '48 Thriftmaster
Installed new clutch on running 216, 4 spd, new brakes, lines, fuel tank, shackles, king pins, tailgate, seat. Plan is for dropped axle and blocks, wide whites, rusty patina for now. Need a replacement for right rear fender.

[nickp51chevy]

That looks like its a '47 not a '48. '47 was the only year, to my knowledge that had the gas tank in the bed. Either way it's a nice looking truck!!

[hottrodd1]

The 47 and 48 both had the gas tank under the bed. I used to have a 48 and the tank was under the bed. As far as I know the only difference in the 47 and 48 is on the 47 the park brake was on the trans. and had a hand control then in 48 the park brake was used on the rear brakes on the rear axle. 'And the control was moved to the left by the kick panel and had a foot control.
Then in 49 the gas tank was moved inside the cab.

Hope this helps.

You are correct. Plus...I have the original title, door tag and bill of sale, and it states that it is a '48! They do look alike!
It is funny...everyone seems to want to change their seat tanks to frame tanks, even though Chevrolet, in their infinite wisdom, put them behind the seat for many years.
Thanks nickP
It has alot of surface rust(patina), but very little rust thru. (floor boards)

thanks, yeah I built to absolutely waste any of the new supercharged mustangs etc. I haven't had a chance to do it yet though, ha ha.

I don't even have a single gauge yet or my traction bars installed. I use my Tom Tom for a speedo & set the cruise control I installed out of an s10 blazer.

[nickp51chevy]

haha.... I've got a friend out here in WA that has a super charged '05 mustang. He could use a whoopin'! But he's working on a new engine. The last time that we raced (I was in my '88) his enging and charger blew up.. ... Now he is working on a new engine. I'll let you know when he is finished, so he can get his butt whooped by one of our styled trucks!

Manual Trans? If so usually no problem unless it is an exceptional driver. I raced an 850 rwhp ( i saw the dyno) & every time he shifted I got another 1/2 car length.
