New Project- 59 Apache - dash empty of switches
Hey gang, new to the forum.... I recently got a 59 Apache, it has the tri -angle gauge cluster, but no other switches, what goes in each hole left to right? Truck is on an 86 Monte Carlo Chasis, with a 350 and a 700R4...
Took the truck completely apart, except cab from chassis, cleaned and painted chassis, cleaned chrome suspension, smoothed the firewall on the engine side, re-installed suspension and engine, will be moving to body work next...

Re: New Project- 59 Apache - dash empty of switches
Welcome. Some one asked this a while ago and I posted a sketch I have, but cannot find right now. It might be on my other computer, if not I can re scan it.

Re: New Project- 59 Apache - dash empty of switches
orrieg's dash picture is waaaayyyy off
there should be a 4x6 hole in the center where the previous owner installed an 8-track/cb/cassette or some combo of those new fangled lectronic device

Re: New Project- 59 Apache - dash empty of switches
Tilt forward hood.... The hood does not work well and I am thinking of putting it back to original.... But i am going to try to sort it out before I switch back... It really tears up the paint on the fenders and cowl... I am currently on Bussiness travel... I'll take pictures when I get home...

Re: New Project- 59 Apache - dash empty of switches
I found a picture of the hinge set-up... really jerry rigged, if i use it, I will have to completely re-build for stability and function, both on the hood and at the core support...

Re: New Project- 59 Apache - dash empty of switches
I see lots of room for thing to shift and get out of alignment. I never understood the rear opening hood, seems it just makes it harder to get to stuff to work on it.

Re: New Project- 59 Apache - dash empty of switches
Thanks....Well yes and no... When I bought it, it was already on a Monti frame... seems to fit OK, you have to cut the inside of the cab to fit over the Monti frame which is wider than the stock frame.... Have not had it out on the road yet, hopeing to have i done by next fall...
You can check my other posts for more pictures... and more going up soon... will also be posting a few of my Camaro per request... |
