Re: "Mable" 1959 Apache Build On A S-10 Frame

To make life so much easier with replacing just about every part of the 59 suspension I bought a 92 ext.cab S-10 off of craigslist that had been wrecked in the front a little for $500 bucks. Everything is there even a 4.3 V6 that fired right up! So with the S-10 frame I have updated brakes, steering and suspension. Many problems solved with this purchase...

Hated stripping it down. Coulda been a good little beater truck. But sacrifices must be made, haha



I'm no fabricator by no means and have no shop to work in so a good friend of mine (Nathaniel) is handling all the welding and technical ****...

Chopped down the frame 7 inches to get the wheelbase lined up and have the front wheels more centered and new cab mounts built. Just a rough pic, not finished
