    I just purchased this 1959 Apache, and am new to the board. It's got to get to me from Utah, and I won't be home to start on it until May, but when I do I am going to be looking for help with info on getting it back on the road. So here are the pictures I have, and a preemptive thank you for all the info you bestow on me in the future.[​IMG]

    I would be happy to have your thoughts on what I have to start with.
    Thanks,
    Erik

    Welcome to the H.A.M.B. Looks like a good start. You lucked out by still having the complete engine with all pulleys and brackets. Late 55-66 step side beds and fenders will fit, too.

    [​IMG]This has been one of my favorite vehicles, I bought this dash on ebay the year before, and have since picked up the glove box, ashtray, and original instrament cluster. I did this all before thinking of buying the whole truck.
