I'm in the process of building a '58 Apache short-bed Fleetside with my 16-year-old daughter for her to enjoy! The body is off and on jigs, and I recently had the frame stripped, epoxy primered and painted. We just hung front suspension It's been subframed with a '73 Camaro front clip). The rear differential / leaf springs are next on the agenda. (I've been reading about the different rear ends that may have gone under the truck; I can tell you it has a Dana 45 with Traction Lok and 3.92 gears).
I'm looking forward to joining this community -- there's a ton of great info here, and I like the willingness of members to help each other.
Loking forward to a good time!

Sounds like you have it all "mapped" out. Let us know how we can help.
By the way, my daughter was 12 when I started on my 37. She was a big help. Both of you will be talking about your project many years from now. Good luck and keep us posted. | | |
