Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Well you've gone and done it. You've made me feel jealous, inadequate, and a couple of other emotions. This is pretty much the truck that I have been looking for! Gotta have 4x4 and maybe a plow mount for winter time up here in CO. I settled on a '48 1 1/2 ton (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...58#post5397758) for now, but after seeing this I know there is no way that I can be satisfied. You've got me thinking of posting my new '48 for sale before I even start working on her!
I really liked the idea of the 4bt...whatever happened to that engine? |

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
We just moved to a new place with shop space and have been working on getting everything organized. I kept the truck running to keep it easy to move around, but it's "scheduled" to get worked on soon! I really hope to have a rolling chassis in the next few weeks...months...eventually

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks for tuning in 6BT...your build is looking fantastic. You should be running by summer! I'm jealous...hurry and get it running, I need the motivation!
Dub, your build sounds great. Good luck on making your goal of a couple months...I NEVER do! ![]()

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
I got the frame stripped today, so next step is clean it, sand blast it, paint it, and install what I'm gonna use.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Man that truck is awesome. Is there any specific reason yall are moving to the later model frame? It seems like y'all could bolt that Dana 60 under the front of the existing frame and drop the new drivetrain in. This truck is so cool. I don't know if I can state that enough. I like how plain Jane it is right now.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
So...we've started to work on the new chassis a bit. We torched about 4 ft out of the middle of the frame (the dropped part) and welded it back up. This gives us a later model 4x4 frame with all the suspension/drivetrain mounts we need and a flat center frame section like the original. We also torched out the rivets for the crossmember at the front of the rear springs and flipped it to create clearance for the ram.
We had the frame sandblasted before coating it with about a dozen cans of glossy black. We're starting to bolt parts to it now...

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Giggidy! Are you worried about the overall width of the 60 compared to the stock 2wd front axle?
