Re: 1958 Apache Big Window Loooooong Bed "Lucky"
I was hesitating on the trans tunnel cover as I figured I may as well just buy a high hump and be done with it, but I decided that since I owned sheet metal and this will get completely covered, it's a good piece to practice metal work.
I cut a hole in the factory piece, made a cardboard template for the sheet, and then spent awhile hammering and bending a gentle curve into the piece so it will be minimally disruptive beneath carpeting when that time comes.
I attached it to the truck, THEN tacked on the new cover so it would fit perfectly, and it seats pretty well!
