Well I've always been a 67-72 guy but ran upon a 60 apache that tweaked my interest....here are the pics....currently a long bed but found a matching short bed to swap out has factory big back glass and side trim...rounded up all the short trim pieces except one....plan on keeping the patina look changing inside to red, dropping in ls drivetrain and some wheels....what do y'all think?

ready2go69 · 11-15-2013, 01:23 PM

Looks like a good start

spacedebris · 11-15-2013, 03:16 PM

must be an Australian phone. Just not used to being on this side of the world.

wjjeeper · 11-15-2013, 03:59 PM

Why not just use the short wheel base truck

Leroy-B1 · 11-15-2013, 04:10 PM

The swb truck doesn't belong to me I only bought the bedsides off of it as guy who owns it was parting it out....I wouldn't have parted it but I will buy parts from someone who would

Leroy-B1 · 11-15-2013, 04:11 PM

It's an IPhone and it acts weird from time to time....oh well sorry everyone will have to stand on head to see it correctly....lol

Let me see if I can help Leroy.

Great looking truck and a very hard to find trim package w/the back of cab trim, windshield trim and it still has the cast iron mirror arm. Nice find

Leroy-B1 · 11-15-2013, 05:42 PM

Thanks for fixing those for me....I had to buy most all of the side trim was hard to find...still need one piece but have most of it....going to swap the frame to a 63-66 frame I have and am going to do it up right before swapping....I have an 87 Chevy truck front stub and a posi rear from a 69 c10 that I'm going to convert to 5 lug....I've never did a bag set up only static but think this may be my first attempt

wjjeeper · 11-15-2013, 06:44 PM

What trim piece are you after?

1963c-10 · 11-15-2013, 07:41 PM

No problem. The offset mirror heads are original and getting tougher to find. Make sure to keep it.

Leroy-B1 · 11-15-2013, 07:55 PM

I need the passenger side lower rear piece that turns back to wheel opening for a short wheel base...I'll post a pic

Leroy-B1 · 11-15-2013, 07:57 PM

Off set mirror head? I have no idea what your even talking about....ha ha told you I'm a 67-72 man...lol

61_FL_Apache · 11-15-2013, 08:37 PM

Great patina!!!

My head is still sore from the headstand looking at them earlier.

Nice truck!!

Leroy-B1 · 11-15-2013, 08:45 PM

Thanks I turned my phone around like 20 times but truck never would turn right side up.....lol

NEWFISHER · 11-15-2013, 08:52 PM

the small round outside mirror, the mounting point is not in the center( which is original)... the only repro that you can get mounts in the center, which is not correct for (us) o.e. guys...
