Thought I would share some pics of the new project we got in. The body is in fantastic shape from what I can see so hopefully it doesn't turn into a huge project once the body has been blasted. I've never been much for the patena look but if it were mine I would lightly scuffed it and give it a few coats of semi gloss clear but since it's not mine it going to get stripped and painted metallic dark blue.

WOW talk about survivor! That's got to be one of the nicest originals I've ever seen. -
That thing is in great condition, holy cow.
Yeah I agree Tim, it would remain as is ifin it were mine.
My father had a 59 fleetside. Rotted out on the "step up". WI is/was rough on them. Where's that one from?They can't all be turn key.
Make the best of each and every day.

The guy that owns it is about an hour from hear. His dad had one for his business when he was a kid so it's getting painted a similar color and the door will be hand painted lettering to look like the original one.Originally posted by zippy1 View PostTim - It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Damn that Apache is beautiful. I agree if it was mine it would stay just the way it is. Maybe lose the hub caps for something more appealing.Comment

Just because it's old, doesn't mean it's obsolete!

Finally got this frame off restoration done. Here's some pics of it loaded on the trailer ready to deliver. The lettering on the doors and tailgate were done by hand. The guys dad started his business with this same model truck and the lettering on the doors was done to match a photo of the original truck.Tim - It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
