@@MortskeRepair Are those aftermarket kits better than takin' a front subframe from a Camaro/Firebird/Nova, et al, or a frame clip from an A or G body? If so, why? They sure cost a lot more.
I put a drop down stainless battery tray down on the frame on my '58 Fleetside and also the brake booster and master cylinder. Clean firewall. Have a '79 Volare K-member, adjustable ride height torsion bar suspension.
Love your Apache, I appreciate how you kept it closer to original looking yet did some nice additions. I’m driving a 59Apache and might consider some of your ideas. Nice work 👍
@@tompopowich8110 I have a 57 gmc front end and cab setting on a 59 frame and bed. That step inside the door just above that is where I installed mirrors. I have the long mirror and two short mirrors on the corners. Something to consider. Won’t break the bank.
@@rogercrawford8372thanks for the suggestion, you’ll have to post a video so I can picture it a little better. You can see a few videos on my channel showing what I have. I’m not sure if I should post it here?
I almost bought a 58 when I was 25 years old. It was in the Little Nickel want ads. (Computers were a novel concept then that only the likes of NASA used) A real dry California example. I was really looking for a 56 at the time. And didn't like the look of the 4 headlights.. lol. I passed on the $1200 dollar truck. Now I wish I would have bought it. I did get a 67 Malibu around the same time. I still have that. Cool looking back at your early content.
@@adamvalenzuela6626 I bought a 59 for my birthday . It's a gmc cab with regular rust. It's got a small block 350 with a mild cam and a 700r4 transmission with a 2800 stall converter. It's got an s10 frame with bags for suspension. No electrical anything, brake lines steering, seats, glass and a rear passenger stepside wheel fender. It was a project from the previous guy. And now it's mine. Do you have an extra wheel fender for a stepside bed by chance? Ebay has pretty much everything. But made in China mostly.
Howdy, Just picked up a 59 apache 31, luv the knowledge you have. Thanks for sharing. Body is straight, no motor running gear. You just mite be my new best friend. Do you have any other apache vids? Just doing my research now. Seeing what's used to get'm going.
So we have found part of your secret, thus: "...remember what you have and save things and keep trying and fitting until you get something that works!". In other words, subtle, but important changes in shape / size - which might escape the casual observer - are keenly important. Details count. Safety and "emissions standards" would certainly stick in my mind. So would "performance" improvements, if applicable. Or complexity.
Great video. I love the 58 and 59. I just bought a 56 GMC Blue Chip that has had some work done to it. The thing that has baffles me the most is how one knows which parts from other vehicles could/will work on a build. You mentioned a 70s model truck and earlier model Impala. I would have no idea what to look for on another vehicle to fit in mine.
I guess I've been around this stuff my entire life so you just try stuff and remember what you have and save things and keep trying and fitting until you get something that works!! GM stuff from the 70s and 80s is super cheap and versatile if you're willing to put in a little extra work. Thanks for watching and commenting Ted!
Coal is not pick up spring or bed friendly. Back in very early 60s we still had a coal furnace. A couple of times my dad feared the coal delivery might not make it in time before we ran out so he went to a local western PA mine to get a load in his '59 F100. When he pulled under the shoot they dropped enough to fill the short bed and it seemed like it all hit at once. Banged up the floor of the bed a bit and the truck instantly looked like a tail dragger. But never broke a spring. Leaf springs were....and are...tough.

Beautiful truck! I would have kept it as a manual transmission. My Dad's dump truck has that body on it. It'd be great to make a half ton apache pickup out of it.🤔 Would it be too difficult to mount the body onto a Chevy Silverado?
@@MortskeRepair it still amazes me how you remember so much. A wealth of knowledge on parts and interchangeability. I'm just not mentally capable of that stuff unless I do it all the time.
Hi, so cool project, good job . Can you please exactly tell me the parts or the kit what you order for the front suspension. I live in Colombia and I have the 1957 Apache and i would like to do similar job you have done on this one . Thanks a lot , Julian.
I do not have the part number for that kit. I would suggest not buying from the same supplier as I got mine from as they were a real piece of work to deal with. There is several kits like it listed on eBay. Thanks for watching and commenting Julian!
Mortske do you remember how much of a stand off you built for your c10 gas pedal to work. Working on a 55 that we put a camaro front clip and 400 small block on and haven't been able to find a good solution for the go pedal.
Hey I’m a 16 yr old, and I’m a car guy too and I’ve been planning on buying and restoring my grandpas 58 Apache which has been sitting in his backyard for almost 20 years, it starts up but it does not run, do u have any tips on what to prioritize to begin in this project of mine?
I like to get them running first. Make sure the engine is loose and has compression. Then get spark and add fuel. Then address the tires and brakes. Don’t worry about the body work or interior until it’s running and driving. Thanks for watching!
If you do get never ever ,,get rid of if ,,,I brought one when I was your age ,,drove it all through high school ,later sold it to buy , a jeep , iam now 52 and miss that old truck every day
Awesome work: a really nice balance between originality and tasteful upgrades. You've continued the spirit of the original vehicle, but upgraded it in a way that the original designers would have done if they'd had the insight and technology. A question: do the biscuit engine mounts dampen vibration successfully? They seem awfully small compared to modern engine mounts.
I recently found an Apache that was sitting out back at a farm house in a area with only like 10 houses when I was hunting this pass weekend, From what I saw from afar the body looked good, I’m kinda thinking I should go back and ask around to see who owns that truck and if they are willing to sell it. after watching this video I have some questions, how much does it run to change it from a manual to automatic and I would like to eventually make her into 4x4, what will I need to do to make that happen? Other then having money haha, Sorry if these questions are stupid I’ve never really dabbled in stuff much. Thanks
I'm a Ford Guy, so I could be wrong.. Isn't the Apache a STEEL Fleetside Bed? I have a 55 Cameo with the Fiberglass Fleetside Bed! Behind 2 56 F100's and next to a 51 F1! ISN'T THAT NEAT!!!
G'DAY MORTSKE,uSWEET BUILD,Did you say at the end, regarding Labour,that you only had $100 labour,or 100 hours,? Regardless if it is 100 hours,that is a lot of fabricating and installing in that time, can't include time having "SANGA" breaks,or you nibbled on packed lunch continuously? I remember that when my interest in custom American iron was intensified in mid to late 70's( when I was impressionable 10-13 yr old,the CUSTOM TRUCK AND VAN magazines that I bought and scavenged from uncle's etc,the featured trucks had ALL these cool features 350 SBC,Turbo 350-400 transmission,the stepside rear pickup well(TUB) so you have mailed it!shame you didn't call DUFF in for a start up and cruise to local watering hole ( pub), parts store,diner, fishing spot, historically important spot,or junkyard, basically take us on a tour? could be a popular 2-4 parts series( next month=1 each week), As always, Kindest Regards, Dave McLaughlin Queensland Australia
I always rather the factory air box inless its intake screw the top air filter i feal every time i have a air fitler like edelbrock or just round filter on top i feal you get more air but its hot dirty air off the motor the factory air box take air away from motor some times ill flip the cover for better air
Those open element air cleaners don't work so hot on dusty gravel roads like we drive. The factory style sealed air cleaners maintain the filters much better. Thanks for watching and commenting!
To get a better ride quality. Along with power steering, disc brakes and a wheel bolt pattern that has more of a selection than the original. Thanks for watching Daniel!
@@MortskeRepair if you want more powerful brakes you should use air brakes. Removing the straight axle is sacrilege. My grandpa switched from Chevrolets to fords because Chevy changed to stinking independent front suspension. If you prefer to haul less weight simply buy a 1960 or newer Chevrolet instead of destroying one of the last good Chevy pickups.
