I have a question,about my 58 Apache,1/2ton,stepside. The previous has a 77 4WD,setup on it now with a lift kit. It looks good but,to high for my preference. What year truck,could I use to get my truck back down to a factory level? And also do away with the 8lug wheels. Thanks,any help,and experience,would be appreciated.Thanks!

a 58 or 59 Chev truck chassis would be an appropriate choice, an easy fit if the PO didn't hack things up too much, and restore it to the proper 6 lugs .... 55 2nd to 57 could be made to work as well, but you have to add an inch or so to the front frame horns

If it's too high for your preference, will taking out the lift kit bring it back to the altitude you desire?

Do you want it to be a 4x4? If so, just buy the original springs for a 77 4x4, that should drop it back down. If you want a 2wd, find a 58 3100 chassis.

Any pictures?
