I just picked this thing up for $100. A '59 Chevrolet Apache long bed. It has an inline 250ci 6 in it, thats not running, but i know someone who wants to buy it. I have plans for a Caddilac 500ci V8 to go in it. Its going to be a 60's style Custom.

I LOVE those trucks! They look killer hammered down over some wheels. What kind of shape is the body in as far as corrosion?

Its in decent shape, the usual rust spots (corner of the cab, the bed sides, blah blah) but thats what i love about it. I wanted something different which is why i got a long bed.
