Hi there. I've been looking for an old Apache for a while, finally ready to pull the trigger. I like the GMC versions more but both are good. Most of what I have seen available on Craigslist are either rust heap pack rat nests for 6-7K or fully restored rat rods or classics for north of 20K. I finally found a truck that runs and looks good to my eye for a price I can afford. I am planning on going to see it but there are some issues that I don't know how concerned I should be about.
The boards in the bed are rotted away and there are some small paint bubbles on the other side of the flareside bed so I know some rust has gotten through. There are some small holes in one of the cab corners which I know is one of the problem areas for these trucks.
I am OK with a project, it can be driven as-is and I can tinker and fix things as I go. The rust is new territory for me though.
