Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

Well, the bread van wheels didn't fit over the drums. We're thinking of cutting the rear of the bread van frame off, with suspension, axle, wheels/tires, and sectioning it into the 58. This will give us a cleaner frame (original has some questionable scabbing going on) with later model brakes and better suspension. The 19.5" wheels fit on the front with no problems...hub bore was perfect, allowing the smaller 1/2" studs to work with the larger stud holes of the bread van wheels.
That will give me a runner while I chase down a dually front 60...thinking I want to 4x4 it.
Also going to work on the 4BT and see if we can get it running, if it fires up then that and the 465 might find its way into the 58 also.
