Hi all, thought id share some progress pics of my 60 Apache. Purchased off a buddy of mine that imported a number of classics into Australia, this was the only one that he hadnt sold (???), so i snapped it up. I needed a kool vehicle that would help me retain my drivers licence, so i figured a 6cyl pickup would be perfect! Basically it was in pretty good shape, so i have only made cosmetic changes to date and just some minor mechanical maintenance. The real fun is about to begin though, with some major suspension changes coming, hence my joining of this fine forum! I'll be asking plenty of questions and seeking loads of advice regarding suspension mods, so please bear with me if i ask some dumb things, there arent alot of these pickups around these parts to get ideas from!

The day i picked it up. (Does anyone recognise it? I was told it was purchase in Vegas, and i found a NAPA receipt from Mexico and some Mexican coins in the ashtray!)

How it is now. (The Hollywood Moons are now gone, never did like em!)

Im a huge Ed Roth fan if you hadnt guessed!

What else do you do with an old pinstriping brush?
