My 61 FL Apache 10
With inspiration from others, I thought I would start my truck project thread.
To start I traded my 65 C-10 Rat Rod for this truck. It was already in good shape but it needed some touches by me. Here is the truck the way I got it. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...Picture324.jpg http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...Picture335.jpg http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...Picture336.jpg http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...Picture340.jpg |
Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
One of the first projects I had to finish was the exhaust. Most of it was done, but it needed the tips. I put on 4" by 24" long tips. I started with a paper mockup to see what I would look like.
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u.../Mock-up79.jpg I liked the way it looked and then added the stainless tips on there. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...0/Exhaust1.jpg |
Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
The next item on the list was the shifter. That old ratty one had to go..
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...cture339-1.jpg I made this one with some chain with the links welded together and an 9 ball on the end. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u.../shifter-1.jpg This was the start of the yellow accents to follow. |
Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
I started working on the air system for the bags.
Here is the tank installed under the floor which is not there. It sure made this job easy. You can see the compressor there too. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...2010/Tank1.jpg Here is the guage to show the total system pressure. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...010/Guage1.jpg This pic shows the cut coils that are in there now. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...0/IMG_0738.jpg I also installed an adjustable panhard bar. This one is actually from a tractor 3 point hitch. The price was right and it has heim joints on both ends. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...0/IMG_0740.jpg |
Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
Here is the new panhard bar installed. It was nice to have this adjustable. The old one was bent and didnt not have the frame centered properly with the body.

Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
The next major item on the list was to redo the interior of the cab. Here is some of the carnage.

Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
Cant forget this little yellow accent on the back. This is where the yellow accent started.

Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
The back window frame was silver now black to blend in better.
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...0/IMG_0812.jpg |
Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
The seat frame also needed to be painted black.

Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
The rest of the cab was painted black.

Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
I started preping the floor for its Hurculiner coating.
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...0/IMG_0826.jpg All the excessive holes were welded in. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...0/IMG_0827.jpg http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...0/IMG_0828.jpg http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...0/IMG_0829.jpg http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...0/IMG_0830.jpg http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...0/IMG_0831.jpg http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u...0/IMG_0832.jpg |

Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
My 50cc steering wheel knob. This came from a scooter that I upgraded to an 80cc. I had to use the old piston for something. This looks like a good place to put it.

Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
Im not sure to thank the PO for removing the floor or cus him. It did give me some easy access to work on the bags and other stuff there. Here the steel going back in.

Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
After my TH350 rebuild, the old tranny didnt have a kick down cable installed. I installed a cable bracket here and got it adjusted.

Re: My 61 FL Apache 10
I love your truck...especially the yellow and black. It is looking great and keep up the great job that you are doing to finish it off with your own special touches.
