That's A Cool '58. I've Been Looking For A '58 Fleetside Lwd. I'm Sure I'll Be In The Same Boat As Yourself Real Soon. Trailering Home A Rusted Ol Heap. Good Luck With Your Restoration Endeavor, It'll Be A Blast!!!

your going to have so much fun with that beaut!

**Palf70Step** · 06-19-2005, 10:24 PM

Nice ewel in the rough you have aquired Jewel. You and Blue should have that up and running in no time.

Seriously, the truck looks great and the attachment to family makes it even better.

I think that radio is rare. Not for sure. Do not think too many folks ordered with a radio in the trucks back then. Wonder if it works? If not, there are people in Hemmings motor news that can get it working. Good luck with your restoration.

bigtruck81 · 03-16-2007, 01:39 AM

any updates on this? was looking for pics of an Apache to show one of my buddies, and came across this thread. i love seeing people restore old family trucks.

blaserman · 03-16-2007, 02:00 AM

I think I would try and rebuilt it to the orginal state. Wish I could find something like that here since I now have a lot of time on my hands. Retired last week and going crazy.

**Ron 586** · 03-16-2007, 09:48 AM

Posting these pictures was the last activity shown for jewels. Don't know what happened to her or the truck as all this was before my time.

Dean · 03-16-2007, 11:52 AM

I wonder if we pissed her off or something. She hasn't replied to any of my emails either. Hope she is doing well.

weasel29gm · 03-16-2007, 01:13 PM

Yea, I was wonderin' about her also. As far as the '58 thats a long term project!!

jewels. · 03-24-2007, 09:37 PM

ok - yes - i'm still alive.... i'm here.... still kickin....

but you are right - someone pissed me off, so i stopped reading....

in fact, it was about the time the board was reorganized, and to tell you the truth, i cant even find my way around this silly place... it's too big....

it's the feeling you have when you want the old "pre-super-walmart" back to make your shopping trip easier!

but i'm still pretty involved...

instead of reading the board myself (cause i keep getting lost in it), i just let josh (blue_71) take care of reading the board, and i get the "nightly board updates" from him...

i haven't posted pics in years... but it looks like i'll have to change that.... and here is why----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

today, blue_71 (josh) and i went down to white house, TN to bryan's house for a nice board meet...
(great meet, bryan! thanks a bunch!

)...
everyone there mentioned that the old thread about granddad's truck had been resurrected from the dead....

so i guess i need to make an update on the state of the truck...

(the old '58 i towed home over memorial day nearly 2 years ago...)

so i will.... but give me a day (tomorrow) to take some pics, and post here again... will tell you what all we have been doing (Blue_71 helps out a bunch!), and will tell you how much further we "lack" (or "like" as they say in Kentucky

)

whew - it's been a tough project so far.... more tomorrow!

ciao!

Cochise · 03-24-2007, 10:05 PM

Wow, you must have some serious Jack, I couldn't even afford to de-rust the wheel wells.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-24-2007, 11:32 PM

i wouldve loved to get ahold of that truck myself but im glad you got it and youre working on it and i cant wait to see the pictures of it now and

back to the board and hope you have a better time this go round

Pl4yboy · 03-24-2007, 11:51 PM

I love those wrap around windows

**passthebuck** · 03-25-2007, 12:49 PM

I love the old work truck finds! What is the bucket on that stand in the cab for?

Dean · 08-23-2007, 01:28 PM
