Who-hoo! Progress!! Looks great and I love the new shop as well.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
nice shop and collection of classics

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Sweet! That was pretty innovative cutting the dropped sections of frame out.
I am digging the new shop. |

Spent the evening/morning getting the rear 14B cleaned up and under the chassis.
Stock springs in the back with 6 in. BDS springs up front leveled out the chassis perfectly :metal: |
Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
It's gonna' feel like you're driving a new truck when you finish!!
Keep up the great work.:metal: |
Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
You guys must eat sleep,and live in that garage to get all that work done.my brother does too.i spent the day taking a 14bolt-ff out of my truck and putting a itty bitty 12 bolt 1/2 toner in it.....for better hi-way gears.my son decided to bail on me so it was just a father build.
You guys >rock<.... |
Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Kick ass!

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Yep it wont be long now. Once you have it able to roll it always inspires you to keep going . What are the plans for cab mounts etc? Driveline next before any cab related stuff?
Keep up the great work. You help motivate all of us!! |

We'll try and get the drivetrain in the chassis next before moving forward on the cab transplant. And thanks for the kind remarks...it really motivates us to be able to show y'all the next step! ;) |
Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Speaking of making decisions, did you ever consider putting a cummins in this truck? :hc:
|
Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
I've lurked around a few of your threads and really like your trucks. Especially the before and after pictures, nicely done.

Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Those duals look amazing. You guys do great work. I am excited to see that drivetrain sitting in it. That frame turned out great.

Sharp eyes may have noticed that the calipers weren't mounted in the pics of the rolling chassis. The wheels were hitting the calipers about 1/2" before the WMS. The shortest spacer we could get was 1"...they fit fine now. |
Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
I'm not real familiar with duallies...do those two rims just bolt back to back on the same lugs? Looks like the spacers worked fine.:metal::metal:
|
Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Looks good! I would upgrade to some steel spacers later though.
Yep the two wheels go on at the same time then you bolt them both down. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

Working on both the burb and the 58 this weekend...not much to show for it, but pretty much got the drivetrain sitting in there. Few little issues getting it in there...block huggers don't fit and we'll have to rotate the alt from below the bracket we made to above it. Stock tranny crossmember won't work, we'll have to fab something up. :waah: |
Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Well, you're about one step ahead of me at this point :lol: I got my chassis rolling last night. Next step is engine, trans, and transfer case.
|
Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
looks sooo simple here :D
i don't understand what's taking so long :lol: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1361177158 |
Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Did you get your 205/4500 already assembled, or did you bolt them together? The reason I ask is I wanted to know if you have pictures of the coupler.
