Re: "Mable" 1959 Apache Build On A S-10 Frame
I saw that MichiganMetalWorks is making s10 arms to custom specs for s10 swaps needing longer Aarms. Might open up some possibilities for some TF truck builders.

Re: "Mable" 1959 Apache Build On A S-10 Frame
Been kinda slow on progress lately. My friend had to finish up a F word 64 F-100 he was working on so we could get the 59 in the shop. Buuuuuuttt.....
Got the floors hand built. Everything is welded up now. Haven't taken a pic yet though... ![]() Got my wheels painted a charcoal grey. Slapped some tires and bullet caps on and did a little test fitting. Threw on a bedside for ****s and giggles... ![]() ![]() iPhone edited, ![]() ![]()

Re: "Mable" 1959 Apache Build On A S-10 Frame
Any updates on this? This thing is sick. How's the track width? I was under the impression that the s10s were too narrow, not sure just wondering.

Aftermath59, nice fab work. I love the fleetside beds on these trucks. I can not wait to see it on the ground.

Re: "Mable" 1959 Apache Build On A S-10 Frame
Liked the thread....I have a 58 Chevy 3200 (Alice) on an S10 frame...I did not do this build but am doing some other project trucks like a 59 GMC fleetside (short), a 54 Chevy 5 window, 54 GMC 5 window and a 67 long bed big back window..looking to do some frame swaps for some of these. I have a K1500 frame that I got in some dealing and it looks like a pretty good swap for the 59 GMC....the guy before me laid down a 58 cab, the doghouse, and the bed and it looked great. BTW....my 58 is Alice.

Re: "Mable" 1959 Apache Build On A S-10 Frame
i saw this truck when it was for sale on Ebay. When you have time, I'd love to see pictures of how the body is mounted on the frame

Re: "Mable" 1959 Apache Build On A S-10 Frame
Yeah, will do but may be a little bit since I am currently setting up a shop space and transferring vehicles etc. I am interested in the same thing and have poked around a little bit. Looks like the builder did pretty solid job with everything and did a good job on all the basics. She does need some adjustment for power steering belt tension and maybe some clearance inside of the wheels (like spacers). The pictures I included give you a general idea that the frame is a little narrow which leaves room for wider tires (good) but would not look as desirable without the wider tires (bad) in my opinion. I am in the process of changing out the grill to a refurbished chrome grill, and chrome headlight covers, and a chrome bumper....and will most likely add the stainless trim around the outside of the cab area as well. Also going to change out the side view mirror on DS to a chrome long arm peep style and match it on the PS. And, have right seat for it since it had a really crappy seat or have one from a 95 K1500 cab that I might use...with a Mexican blanket. She also needs a windshield wiper motor and blades, arms installed. Turns out none of the gages are reading so will address that as well. I will make a thread when I start the 59 GMC frame swap but that will be a personal truck and I will put a lot of time and effort into that one so it will be a longer project.....the two 54 5 window trucks will be flips and I want to get them done and ready to sell ASAP. Not sure what I am going to do with the 67 yet except to rob it of a built 355 that I intend to use on one of the 54s.
