It's not in the shape I remember it, but I still like it. I guess cause I have stared at it for so many years. My old neighbor hasn't moved the truck to his new home yet. So it is out of the shed/garage that he kept it in. It was at night and raining as you can see when I snagged the pic but I got a pic nevertheless. Late 50's?

58 I'm thinking is the only year of the dual headlights or the last year. Someone correct me. It's my best guess. Those trucks are mean with the right set of wheels. A friend in high school had a 59 Apachie with a 400 sb and M21 muncie. He put it on a 72 frame. It was Radar Blue (matallic purple). I hated the color but very clean and unique truck.

I dig it. I like the look of the cab pointing forward for some reason. That probably adds to the aggressive stance. Yeh, the right rims and meats that thing by itself would look mean. Let alone cleaning the body up and throwing some horses in it.

Yes, very aggressive trk. The only problem is like all rcsb trucks for me being 6' 240 lbs is too small of a cab pre 1999. In the 50's the average height was 5'8"-5'10" maybe, now it is 5'10"-6' and much fatter Hell, my 05 is a little cramped for me sometimes.

his wife's mother past away a few month's ago. Left them nothing besides a house and mortgage. They just bought a $550K house THINKING they could sell "grandma's" house AND their current house. Hate to take advantage of somebody else's misfortunate BAD timing of the housing market...buuuuuuuut, that thing would look reeeeallly good in my driveway. Ofcourse tarped up, vacuumed sealed for the next 10 yrs until i can raise enough funds to clean her up.
