HMMM What to do
OK so I been debating on what to do to the 58 Apache,look for a swb step bed to replace the long step bed or leave alone and just restore the way she is.It does need some tlc on the cab corners and lower front fenders and pass. floor board.She fires right up and runs pretty dang good 235 4 spd,so after fiddle prickin around on what to do I see the neighbor friend go by pulling his old pick-up box trailer by my house.Would you belive it is a swb fleetside bed
 I was like WTF did u see that.So I call him at home and see if I could come look at it and he says sure.This guy is like 75 yrs old and super nice,I asked him if he would like to sell it and he said sure.Bed is not to bad a shape pass. side is kinda dinged up but repairable.We haven't worked out a deal yet but I think I can get it pretty reasonable $100.I gave him some firewood last yr. so he said he would make it right with me.HHmmm guess I know what I'm gonna do with it now

Re: HMMM What to do
For me it would be hard to pass up that deal. But, changing it over is a personal preference of course. I personally like short beds 100% more than long, but there are those who prefer long beds, so....

Re: HMMM What to do
Well I went and inspected it a little better today,it is a long bed fleetside and pretty good shape like I mentioned before.He want's another P.U. box trailer and said he would trade me straight across.I'm gonna try and find 1 for him and snatch up his box so I or ?? can use it for there project.
