We've been working through the little things for a bit...ran all the brake lines, fuel lines, cabling, and started wiring. We had to fit a few pieces after cab on chassis...those parts are painted and on. Getting closer but I'm going slow...trying not scratch shit up!

58 Apache 1 ton tow rig??

Working through lots of little things, but making progress. Cables and linkages for the PTO controls are done, door seals, inner door panels, and exterior mirrors are on. We collaborated with Mike's Billet Mirrors out of TX to get these custom mirrors made...took a couple months due to Covid and weather, but we're really digging them!
I feel bad asking for an update so quickly. But your progress has really sped up. SOO??? Doing burnouts, or what?

I’m sure he still has another 3 years left of buffing chrome and polishing all the billet crap. Don’t forget the final buff on the paint also.
Nope, no burnouts yet. We've been working on the wiring, building it from scratch...nothing too exciting to post up.
Thank you!
Thanks for the update. My wife and I were just talking about this build the other day when we drove by a nice restored Apache.

Awesome build!
Thank you!Awesome build!
Been working through more interior stuff...finished covering everything in Dynamat, visors covered in the grey tweed, carpet done firewall to back, and grey tweed shifter boots.
Thanks! You're making great progress on your bus...sweet build.
We finished up the interior work this weekend...just needed kick panels, column cover at the floor, and some detail work under the dash. We're starting back on the wiring, trying to hide as much as possible...my least favorite crap to fool with.
Thanks! Yes, it is. I had Twisted Stitch custom build it for me a number of years ago.

Awesome to see update, haven’t seen since the old site.
I've been holding off putting stock interior door handles on...just didn't do much for me. My son and I were playing around with ideas and designed these, we asked Mike's Billet Mirrors out of San Marcos, Texas (same guy that did our mirrors) to build these for us.
I got these exterior door handles from LS-Fab...
