Cool build.
I like the spotlights.
Were they aftermarket or factory option?

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

That's the money shot right there. Damn that looks good. It just re-affirms that we are doing the right thing when it comes to our 58 GMC short fleetside

Re: My 1959 apache project

Re: My 1959 apache project

Looks good.
I like the contrast of the orange covers.
Maybe you can paint the fins on the old style covers.

This was supposed to be a bolt in kit off ebay wish i wouldnt have gotten it but im just building a cruiser so no worries.

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Is it because of the quality of the parts? I see Chassis Tech has a bunch of kits for sale on Ebay for pretty cheap, but do you get what you pay for?

We're building this truck as a driver anywhere during the summer months kind of truck and the 4 link with a M2 front clip seems to be the direction we're headed in.

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Wow, that looks really neat! Looks like it would take a good exhaust man to snake the pipe through?

Hey Dubie!;)

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

I was being cheap and thought to myself bolt in sounds really easy but should have gotten a universal one instead don't care for the lower brackets they hang low and rods are thin.

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

i noticed the bottom bracket hangs a bit low. What did you use up front for the IFS?

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Thanks! yeah im not sure about exhaust due to how low its going to go but I would like it out the sides behind the rear tires not sure if that will happen :lol:

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

yes very im going to relocate them up higher, I used a scotts front end

Re: My 1959 apache project

Started boxing in frame up front gonna clean it up trim bottom lip

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

NICE!! That some high end stuff. I bet this thing rides like a dream

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

I got a super killer deal on it was new came with bags and brackets so that's why I ended up bagging it. I hope so we shall find out sometime this next year.
