Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanx yall', appreciate the kind remarks and glad ya like it.
We've been mulling over whether to use the existing frame or not and after much consideration have decided that it would be easier to build a new frame and swap the body over. I think it will be better, cheaper, and faster...if that's possible?? Anyways, still baby steps for the time being. Spent a couple hours making a new mount for the slave...didn't like the AA version.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks, but when your progress is as slow as mine it's easy to spend time on the little things. For me, I'm saving up $ for the next part of the puzzle and then trying to find time to piece it together
![]() ![]() Case in point, a month plus and all I've managed is a new Muncie triple gear PTO. But, the truck is still running and I've probably put 100+ miles on it over the last few weeks just enjoying our cooler weather! ![]()

That's a very nice PTO!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Picked up a mid 80's, 1 ton, CC, 4X4 frame that had been lengthened 16" in it's prior life (done right though). Thinking I'm gonna cut a couple feet out of the middle (the area the rises behind the cab) to gain a straight front to rear frame and use that as the new backbone.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
My son worked with C&M Performance to modify one of their billet rear output seal housings to work with a HAD driveline brake set-up...surprised me with those and a couple other NP205 billet pieces for Christmas.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
I really like what you are doing with your truck. I also think it is great that your kids got it for you and you have been working together on it to get it together. Keep it up and thanks for posting your updates. I used to have a '69 one ton Chevy and I miss that ol' truck...I bet you love driving yours around, even with the old I6 in it. You have chosen my favorite engine for it and it will be really sweet when you get it together...

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Man that is quite the awesome engine and tranny setup.
I love the NV4500, put one in my 72, and now I am fixing to stuff one in my CJ7. It is a great transmission.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Just wanted to say, "Nice Truck!" I'm trying to talk my wife into a '51 1 1/2 ton. I think it would be great to follow your example of driving it and enjoying it while slowly working up to a complete rebuild. Also, your craftsmanship and welding are great. Some of the stuff you made for your son's 4x4 was just amazing. Keep up the good work.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Thanks cAlvis165 and Wheelie for the props!
It seems to work out well slowly building up parts on the side while still being able to drive and enjoy the truck whenever I want. I don't get burned out looking at a pile of parts that I can't enjoy...I know that eventually I will be able to swap everything over and I enjoy making progress when time and funds allow. It doesn't cost much to keep the truck insured and driveable and that keeps the flame lit. ![]()

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
I would really like to do more or less the same thing, to a neighbor of mine's 68 c30 if I can ever get ahold of it. it's a dually 138" wb 327 2v. Former grain truck and power company truck, original paint minimal rust. No dump bed though, current owner uses it as a wood truck.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
How about a couple engine pics??
![]() My son liked the Edelbrock valve covers/air cleaner we had refurbished and used on mine, more so than I did, so we pulled them off and put them on his. He was cruising CL and found this shotgun style scoop for cheap, so we chased down some valve covers that kinda matched and dropped them all on mine...I'm digging these more. ![]()
