I had zero, now I have three

I'm in mid build of my 59 Apache. I've always had a thing for 60-66's. Wasn't in a big hurry to get one but just so happens I worked out a deal with a friend of mine on a trade for a 64 cab, fleetside swb bed, hood, core support and inner fenders. No frame, and front sheet metal. So in search of a parts truck and also one with a title, my search took 3 days when I found the 62 and the big window cab which the guy said was a 63. Then I also scored the GMC grille. So once my 59 is done, my plan is to at least make 1 truck out of the 3. Or maybe possibly 2 out of 3. Gonna need another parts truck though, haha!

That first cab pictured is a 64-66, 60-63 were Knee Knockers. You have a bunch of good parts though

Nice fleet man! I'll keep an eye on your build. Didn't realize your 59 apache was on the S10 Frame. I was glancing at your build couple days ago. Looks good

Thanks brotha!

Yeah the 59 worked out better than we thought on the S-10 frame. Added an inch or so to the control arms and bolted up some 1 inch spacers to get rid of the gap up front

Nice score!

Re: I had zero, now I have three

All three of those cabs look to be pretty solid from what I can see in the pics. Good find!

Re: I had zero, now I have three

Well from searching around on the forum, the thought of making 2 cabs into 1 is has really gotten me intrigued. So there may be some crew cab plans in the future!
