New Here
Hi all. It's nice to see another site for these classic trucks. I have a 61 short fleet apache. Project is 3 months shy of the 3 year mark. Bought it without an eng/tranny. Havent heard the engine run since I pulled it from an 85 Z28, but am getting real close. Here is the current state:
305 V8 and tranny from an 85 Z28 Front cross member swap from an 82 chevy C10 Rear leaf spring and rearend assy swap from same 82 5 lug, front disc brakes and power steering 63-66 frame and 63 hood New power booster and master cylinder from Early Classics New alum billet dash insert and Dolphin gauges New wiring kit (still to be installed) New Radiatior installed Replacing electronic carb & distributor for standard w/HEI Donor Quadrajet & HEI currently at mech for overhaul Cab and front end sheet metal is all bolted back together. Bed is still off and still debating how to finish bed floor and which gas tank to use behind rear end. Just wanted to say hi.
