I just bought a 58 Apache. Here is the problem or challenge, I am a total newbie when it comes to cars/trucks. The only things I have done before is change my oil, and swap out a starter and alternator.

My short term goal is to make the truck reliable enough to use as a work truck. Eventually I want to make it as original as possible.

I am sure I will have a ton of questions that will seem very basic to some of you so be patient with me.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Welcome, you can break the whole project into little bits. Some work may have to be done by others but there is a lot you can do yourself. The more you do yourself, the better it feels when you take your maiden voyage in the truck. We are here to help, don't be afraid to ask questions.
