Re: The SILVER INDIAN: '61 Apache Stepside, 5th Wheel Hauler in Brighton, England.
 

And a anti roll bar for Martin

Re: The SILVER INDIAN: '61 Apache Stepside, 5th Wheel Hauler in Brighton, England.
 

If that differential is 6 lug it is a '65-'70 truck 12 bolt. The late year '70 12 bolts were 63.5" wide whereas the '65 to early '70 12 bolts were 62". If it is 5 lug it is a '71-'72 and will be 63.5" wide. As for shims and clutches, you might try ebay or Toms Differentials

Re: The SILVER INDIAN: '61 Apache Stepside, 5th Wheel Hauler in Brighton, England.
 

Thanks John now I have worked out what sort of age it is thanks to your advise.
Looked on toms differentials from that I worked it out.
Now too find out what differential carrier it will accept.
Thanks Pete

Evening all not been on for a while just been so busy with work and other commitments.
Now it's more truck time whoop whoop time to refresh the the hood of old shoddy repairs (filler then more bondo) all. Over the whole hood.
Looking for some thoughts should I keep this hood ornament or should it go.

I like the hood piece. It is different!

Re: The SILVER INDIAN: '61 Apache Stepside, 5th Wheel Hauler in Brighton, England.
 

That's a tuff one Pete , as your truck is called the silver Indian . I have a hood bird for mine but still unsure whether to fit it or not , as I kinda like it without a ornament .

Re: The SILVER INDIAN: '61 Apache Stepside, 5th Wheel Hauler in Brighton, England.
 

Hi all not been on for a while due to having many commitments ei vows renewal,
And broken iPad now fixed.
So for a bit of an update we’ll the hood has been painted looking good. New hood ornament as well digging through my friends toolbox and found it and said it’s yours if you can make use of it.
And inbetween sorting that had to arrange getting my my wife’s new truck grill (1941 Chevy) rechromed that was hard enough in its self with out her ether finding it or asking were I am going 150 mile round trip twice was worth it tho.
Think she was happy when I gave The (1941 Chevy) to her as a wedding present.

And would also like to say a big thank you to Martin and sally for coming too the wedding and driving the truck back for us.
Put a smile on his face lol
:metal:
Let’s hope we make another 25 years:metal:
