I have a 1959 38 series apache and in the far depths of my mind think it would be fun to upfit it with 4x4 running gear. Has anyone done this? It has dual rear wheeles and I would like to keep it that way. The torch isnt burning and I have no time to do it right now I'm just thinking. Thanks

I'm not real familiar with TF trucks but I put my 53 on a 73 suburban frame. The TF trucks were retrofitted with 4x4 almost from the beginning. Search the gallery for NAPCO units. Some of the napco guys will chime in soon I am sure.

svnuccadoc,

I'm in the process of doing almost exactly what you're asking about. I started with a 195? (not exactly sure of the year) 3800 frame. I have added a Dana 60 front axle (1977 K3500 donor) and a Dana 70 rear (1993 P3500 donor).

Truck will be registered as either a 1958 or 1959 Chev (I have data plates from both).

Pics can be seen here: http://community.webshots.com/user/Lane9999

PM me if you have any more questions.
