Anyone know where to get the odd shaped tool to remove the rear fenders from a 1958 Apache? I have looked and looked with no luck.

do you mean for the clutch-head bolts that hold the fenders to the bedsides? the bits are available on eBay and tool suppliers. search on "clutch head bit"

Don't know about "today" but I have seen those clutch head sets in Lowes, Home Depot and even Ace Hardware on occassions. They are also available from most all vendors, with shippin of coarse.
You can also get them in sockets......

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

as Tom sez, you want the biggest clutch head screwdriver, and the rest of the set of 3 or 4 as well if you're working on the whole truck

Much appreciated guys. I knew it was a certain "NAME" that would make the difference in my search.

I know this is an older post... but wanted to add to my experience. After identifying the same with this tread, Thank You!, I found a clutch head driver set at the Tri-State Car Parts Swap meet in Denver. $12.00 It worked in removing only 5 of the bolts on the bed. The bolts stripped out even with a solid fit. I had to drill the rest out. It worked and did not take to long. I will replace them with a hex head or equivalent. Not a fan the clutch head.




1959 3100 Apache (Farm Find) Always another day to get that fixed...

I found clutch head sockets on a Snap-On truck. They grip the screws better than the screw driver style I ordered from LMC or where ever I got them from.
