1959 Chevy Apache Fleetside

[lookin59]

Any advice for a newbie looking hard at buying a 1959 Chevy Apache Fleetside for restoration? What does it take besides money to tackle such a project? I know I want to restore an old truck but I've never taken on such a project. My experience includes rebuilding the front end of a 70' Olds Cutlass Supreme, replacing a 283 in a 67' Chevelle and numerous shade tree work from oil changes to clutch replacements all over a twenty year period. I've got a garage I can reserve for the project and tools are not a problem. At the start money for the project seems an acceptable challenge but I'm blind to the cost involved in a purchasing original parts. I'm not newbie enough to know I can't do it in a weekend. In fact, I look forward to occasionally working on the restoration over a long period of time. Hey, its cheaper than a psychologist, right? For now I 'm planning on restoring, driving it and then selling it for another project. Probably fishing. What this project going to take?
