I have been wanting to work on something, and this truck had been sitting in a pasture at my grandparents, so it was the cheapest project. Its a 1959 apache step side. I found a 1983 Impala to use as a donor. I am using the frame and drive train. I had to narrow the frame 6 inches on each side for the body to clear. I plan on bagging it has soon as its legal. This is were i started. Ill post pics of the truck tomorrow.
