I am new to the 50s truck and just bought a 1958 Apache short step with a hacked up stock frame to fit in a v8. I found a decent looking frame though craigslist (
http://houston.craigslist.org/pts/957970901.html ) and want to know what you think? It is a 66 with a 71-72 front clip bolted on.
I am paying a little more for the bags and delivery but it does not come with a compressor or tank which is not too big a deal. (I will not be dropping and lowering it a lot.) I do not have a welder and this seems to be an upgrade that wont need much in the welding and fabrication department because it seems to have been already done for the same truck I have.
Is is a decent deal for under 500? I should be getting it this saturday.
He informed me he is selling it to get an s10 frame for his 1958 project so he can slam it to the ground.
