1958 Chevy Apache will it run and drive?

I agree with you on that

[@QBRX]

Yup.

[@rogerpence]

I agree 100%. Doesn't have anything to shill; each build always has a beginning, a middle, and end (I'm looking at you Bad Chad); and he's humble, direct, and explains things well. None better.

You’re correct Kyle, look at it, cab leaning forward. Going 60 just sitting there. Very cool.

[@joelstaab6773]

Like the '57 with the single front headlight a little but more but they are so danged cool...

[@kodak_jack]

BUT, don't just park it like everything else sitting around. It needs to be completed and used as a cruiser.

[@keithharden7844]

@@kodak_jackWhat does he have “just sitting around?”

[@kodak_jack]

@@keithharden7844 The list is almost endless. The Studebaker he wants to drag race on the dirt, a '68 Cuda, all of the stuff parked on the way to the shop, the '54 Chevy, the '56 Dodge pickup, the Georgia T-Bird, etc.

[@mikemullay5622]

I like your plan. Fix the rust issues, leave the 6 shooter in it or transplant a nicer one. Don't lower it. Put the highway rear end in it so it can run a bit faster, and generally upgrade it but leave the patina. Oh and probably should do something with the truck bed so you can haul stuff with it. Love the stuff you do Brent.

[@mikegarcia9419]

Another great video --- as you are aware - Apache is a very sought after truck - keep up the great work .

[@larryhicks7558]

Great little inbween project. Fix it up a bit yep then up for sale . Find some of that SEB money. Rust repair and better hiway gears yes. I love to see old trucks put on the hiway. You have fun with it .

Nice Truck! Badging is for 59. 64-early 70 truck 12 bolt it is the same width as the original 10 bolt that’s on it. You can get 8” wide wheels on the back. You would only need to flip the perches. A small block will work with the same perches so long as you have a block with tapped holes in the front.

[@mccornchip]

Brent, your ending music and drone shots are so beautifully done. Cheers to you and your team. That 58 Apache is a classic, you should definitely keep it and beautify it in your way.

[@theodoreharper4565]

Brent, you always bring good memories back of good times in my life. Like 235 cubic inches, dual strombergs, dual exhaust, and sweet Jaguar engine sound while cruising. The 1958 is nice, I know you will made us old heads jealous of those good times. Keep up the excellent work.

[@markmckeachnie4484]

[@Telephony954]

There is something cathartic, about watching someone with your abilities, a pry bar in one hand and a bottle of hot sauce in the other, grind on an ol Chevy 6 banger, from the comfort of my Lazy boy. I may end up liking being old.

Oh yesssss!!! Love this blue diamond in the rough! Pull it home, pull the engine, take a cruise, come back and drop another engine in and she fires!! All in a days work for you!!! Love it!! Love Your videos love this truck!!! Great job !!!what a nice find! Make it a great driver love the color too 💙 I think drop the back would be cool too 👍🏻

[@haroldrogers6083]

I am a 58 model I'm 64 years old and the 55-58 Chevy Apache is my favorite truck body style . My Grandfather (moms dad) inherited a 57 Apache from my Grandmothers Dad , my Great Grandfather . My job when we went for a ride was pushing the floor start button . When my Grandad finally parked the truck the steering box was bad but motor still ran . i was in my early 20s , i wanted that truck , he told me come get it . But i wasn't able at that time so my cousin went and got it . Thats ok cause it stayed in the family 3 generations for that truck .

Just love those old 58 59 Chevy trucks . Nice one make good cruiser . Enjoy watching .

[@coblass]

Love it! You gotta keep it and stock.

[@ryanjackson2774]

The motor you took out is a 261, worth opening up to assess. You can tell it’s a 261 because of the way that it is. (The captains bars cast in the block beside the base of the distributor denotes a 261) Really enjoying your content Brent!

[@billywird]

Yes sir that would be the case as that 1/2 ton pickup generally used the 235, but there is nothing to say that it is not original or possibly it could have been ordered that way from the selling dealer. Engine may be salvageable you never know.

[@eddiehaskell5578]

Not only will it run again, with your skills it will be the most bad ass Apache the Western Hemisphere has ever seen. Much respect for saving all these time capsules. ❤ you be the man😀

Stock, the heater controls are to the right of the radio. Your dash has a heater delete plate. I believe your NAPCO truck and this truck should have the same heater and controls from the factory.

[@chadclark2340]

I think its sooo cool someone(you) takes on these rusted (seems it lived under 💦 water) gems and brings them back to life for its really shows every viewer what is possible, and what previous generations did to and with these rides), thank you. You Sir, turn lemons into lemonade every episode.

[@howardkoster4026]

Brent, you got me grinning from ear to ear!!!! I'm enjoying the ride and your country's views, but I know, all too soon it'll be frigid and snowy...( Burrrrrrr). I also look forwards to your winter builds.... As far as the the ride height, meh, I'd leave it stock, SO, I know. I'm a party pooper.....As I always say Brent, your builds, build it your way, I KNOW,,,,, it'll look cool!!!!! You have some of the best scenery I've ever snagged my peepers on!!!!

[@qmopar]

I am such a fan of your channel! So relaxing watching you get these relics back on the road. Hearing your laugh of triumph after freeing a stuck engine or getting a rusty wheel cylinder rejuvenated makes me smile right along with you. And your fab skills are awesome too! The drive afterward with Pablo is tops (my wife loves that part too). Thanks for taking us along with all of your mechanical adventures!

[@JorgeDiaz-ly5qp]

The reason I found your channel was because I initially did a search on 1958 Chevy Apache revivals. Never looked back. Anything, and I mean A-NY-THING, you do on a 2nd half 1955 to 1959 Chevy/GMC truck will always have my attention. Your plan is exactly what I wish to execute with my project - I want to get her back on the road. After a variety of prior thoughts, you have me thinking once again that sourcing a 235 would be the easiest solution that would still allow me to enjoy the truck. Between the NAPCO series and this gem, I pretty much have a foolproof roadmap. If you have video, it would be very cool to see how you were able to troubleshoot the electricals and wiring on this Apache through your "Other Half" channel. All in all, this episode was just made for me. Thanks a whole heap!!!

[@jimcarlisle2309]

[@stephenandloriyoung5716]

Meh, it's been done. Over and over and over and over and over and over - snxxx.

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Love this, recycle the engine you pulled out of the previous build. And feel that it had the Pablo seal of approval. I say drop it and keep the straight 6.

[@josephg41]

Good work and good find! I love these trucks so much. I'd keep her stock. Plenty of these 55-59's rolling around all restomodded. You rarely see one stock. P.S. This is a '59, badges are the most obvious clue, but somebody could've swapped a front clip. But the original interior paint with the fawn color on the inside proves it's a '59. '58 and before had a grey with charcoal accented interior. Then they kept that fawn color throughout the 60's.

[@claudioandersonribeiro6763]

Congratulations, great work from you!!! must be very pleasant to work with these machines!! I admire those who have the gift for it.

[@ravinloon58]

That view from above at the end is killer. I wouldn't change a thing other than fix the rust. Lowered with modern suspension would be a nice look, on any of your many small trucks. I am surprised that among your vast and ever growing collection there is no wrecker/tow truck.... yet.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Haha I have a trailer so I don't really need a wrecker :)

[@2tana22]

I got it! build a wrecker bed that is interchangeable with the box on the general, there will be a million hits on those videos in no time flat….ha ha….

[@johnhicks735]

I'd soak it in marvel mystery oil& transmission fluid down in through the spark plug holes. At least that way while waiting to finish up your other projects first. It'll give more time to soak.& Seep through the cylinders.& Oil rings to free up faster to by doing that process.
