So the guy gave me a caddy seat, just the coils, frame and electronics from what he said was a 66. My question, use that or is there something...
Okay so that damn steering wheel was used on hundreds of cars apparently! Ha! Is there a code I can look at on the column or steering box to...
Actually I think I found it...80's Chevy Caprice?
Oh and I ask because this steering wheel/column came with the vehicle I bought and I'm trying to identify the front end/steering box so I can get...
Thank you. [IMG]
First things first, boxing the frame where it's needed. Now I just gotta get my hands on some steel then I'll report back with some pics.
Got the truck today. Couple of stupid mods, like mirrors molded for the doors but I'll get rid of that once I move to the body. The front end,...
rusty1, thank you! I'll definitely message you once I have it and tell you what it has in total and where I want to go with it.
As I now know.
Thank you Jim...if you're even in FL, I owe you dinner and drinks! As for the title, from what I was just told by the DMV, as long as it's not...
Man Jim, you're a wealth of knowledge...can you move to FL? Haha! Okay, I told him it was definitely a 59 frame, he said, well I was told it was...

By the way, I do appreciate everyone's input here!
I realize that I'm not all that knowledgeable but I'm also not slow. I like to learn, I'm in no rush. But I do know it's an 80's shortbed half...
Okay, so further talks. The frame is from an 80's chevy that has been modded to fit the 59 Apache. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks! Got the VIN on the body, he is now checking the frame. I'll try to get someone to run it.
Hmmm
Nice work man, subscribed!
No but I have a friend who can get a title for it.
Subscribed! Great work man!
That's what I figured. Not sure that I like the tilt idea. Though I can weld, maybe I can just put the fenders back to together (or at least try...
Anyone know if it would be easy to convert it back to a non-tilt hood?
Thank you, I'll definitely be asking for help! I don't see the point if it ain't a challenge. Unfortunately I lost my 53 in a divorce and had to...

Rear part of the fenders. [IMG]
I like the challenge, I didn't know anything about my 53 4-dr when I built it. I just meant I don't know the firewall. The rears of the fenders...
From what I understand, he is giving me the caddy motor and tranny. I just don't have a lift. :/
Haha, those are the sellers photos.
