[@hikomiyagi4697]

Please share how you prepped the truck for paint, especially the rusty portions.

[@rickcarter4408]

I need more info so I can do the mini tub and narrow the rear end in my 60

[@mustanggarland24]

Simply gorgeous

[@brianrocco4301]

I'm surprised they retained the factory front suspension torsion bars when coilovers were used in the rear.

[@JM-xi8uz]

Beautiful

[@matts1972blazer]

Drop spindles? Disc brakes I would love to.know where you got themI have a 62 GMC with torsion bars want to run them like yours, love the ride height, thanks for the Info

[@staffcarpenborg]

does anyone have info' on the process/procedure that was used to preserve the above Chevy's patina ?

[@matts1972blazer]

Do you have drop spindles? What is your front tire size?

[@ARMOROID5000]

I.... LOVE... IT !!!!!

[@vm722]

What someone told you to get rid of the torsion bars.?I would not take any advice from that idiot. Did he tell you to get rid of the windshield wipers too.

[@tallnrough68]

what kind of clear was used ?

[@mdsmotorsports5168]

Southern Polyurethane universal high solids

[@darylvoorhees2629]

Nice pickup. I have a 61 C10 with a gen 1 sbc 350 and looking for stainless headers. The ones you have look good but unfortunately they are for an LS engine.

[@earldancy8186]

Any ideas on total cost of build

[@rarebreed6703]

I love your truck. How much would it cost to build one?

[@coltonthomas5466]

What gas pedal and brake pedal was used? Locar?

[@zombienectar]

I really love this truck but the clear coat is too shiny for me. The interior is a work of art.

[@adriantomlin2902]

zombienectar Paint it!

[@JM-xi8uz]

U r crazy its perfect

[@adriantomlin2902]

I can tell ya for a fact how bad the fricken rust was on my 61 Apache!!

[@brhusewayne2217]

Part of task force Apaches models 58-59 Please correct me if needed

[@adriantomlin2902]

Dink Wray Apaches were built from 1958 to 1961.

[@snoopu2601]

Blended the body work back in real good I would have that it was original if I didn't know the. Truck's.

[@adriantomlin2902]

15 coats??!! Wtf?!

[@eutimiochavez415]

It a sleeper huh❤❤

[@Fwatson757]

Is it me or does this truck not have windshield wipers?

[@gudeliohernandez3024]

What tipe of wheels used is very cool

[@gudeliohernandez3024]

Rings of steel where buy

[@GreenmanWood]

The only thing "preserved" is the appearance.

[@adriantomlin2902]

Christopher Tirone Exactly man!! Never get rid of the torsion bars!! They beat coils all to shit!!

[@michaelo1492]

It’s an awesome truck, to bad the owner didn’t do any of the actual work...

[@Slower-And-Less-Happy]

LOL!, what a stupid fn comment!. Not everyone is able to build what they desire.

[@adriantomlin2902]

michaelo1492 yea I hear ya!!

[@anthonysinclair5721]

Q.cmioneta.tanbnita.felsidades

[@adriantomlin2902]

[@steelofcrom]

Dull that patina, for the love of god!

[@vannjunkin8041]

bet THAT hauls ass

[@londohondo]

Ha ha, patina,..just call it rust.

[@adriantomlin2902]

Brad Spatz yea you nailed it Brad!

[@1pigpen7]

Patina is way over rated imho. Why??

[@larrywoodruff7530]

Another nice classic pickup ruined, what a shame.

[@gibranleon8221]

how so

[@kCI251]

Ruined a nice old farm truck. Like plastic surgery on a beautiful woman who doesn't need it.

[@hectictrey8955]

kevino25701 who wants a old farm truck

[@dragma88]

Nice truck, the clear coat needs to be satin or flat. Gloss clear reflects too much & u can't see the patina.
