My father gave my wife and I my grandmother's 61 apacheafter she passed away, "farm truck but one owner". After he saw our restored 66 Mustang coupe he wanted to see grandma's truck restored. We are well on the way. I have picked up a lot of help just reading the forums. Can't wait to participate.It's nice to see how helpful everyone is.

I still need to get with my wife to figure out how to attatch pictures. I know the stovebolt has info on this,. However with me doing air conditioning work, here in Arkansas we,ve been pretty busy. Nice truck and Im sure you will eventually fing time to work on it.
