new guy saying hi

hi my name is Don. just joined the forum. i have a 61 apache fleetside shortbed truck (235/sm420) im excited to get into a forum for this truck as its my main project and i plan to do a restomod or should i say restoSLAM to it.

i bought it for $250 in napa ca from the original owner. towed it home and brought it back to life with just some fresh gas. registered it and did a full tune up and a new brake/clutch master cylinder. Its running and driving great. grandpa had the engine rebuilt in the 70s and you can tell.

ill have pics today or tomorrow. my plans are to get this thing to lay frame but i want it restored with some era correct mods.

i really want to ditch the sm420 for a 3 on the tree and id like to find one of the 3speed overdrive transmissions. im keeping the 235. i want to swap it to a big back window and ditch the bardon rear bumper. other then that im happy with it.

Re: new guy saying hi

here is a pic that i had on my cell phone. i took this pic the day i got it.



my plans are to bag it. thinking about a drop member but without that cash i might bolt in a later model truck member. right now im trying to slam it in time for billetproof on the 19th but i cant locate any cheap TJ jeep rear springs for the rear end. i have a set of lowering blocks also

the truck came with all 4 hubcaps. all chrome custom cab trim. STOCK engine. STOCK exhaust. nothing is altered on this truck. the color combo is tampico torquoise and white. im thinking of repainting it. the body is straight with alittle rust. the one dent is on the tailgate that you can see in the pic.

ill post more pics asap

Re: new guy saying hi

Hello and welcome to the board

Looks like a really straight truck. That's cool that it's a Custom Cab. You don't see many with the CC side trim.....I believe that's a bit rare. Keep us updated with your progress.

Yeah I'm stoked about the trim. It was only made for 60-61. I've always wanted a 61
I had a 60 fleetside shortbed 4x4 before but didn't like the grill or hood as much as a 61. Any of you guys know a good company to send the trim out to bang the dents out?

Definitely re-paint that color combo, that looks killer!

Billetproof is an awesome show. I go to the Washington one every year!

First, welcome to the board.
I've never heard of anyone being able to straighten stainless trim.
