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

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


Thinking about buying an Apache. Should a single cab long bed s10 be used instead of the extended cab?
