Do you still have the Oldsmobile?

Yes it’s a bubble. The big KYANA swap meet is next week in louisville. I hope to go and will be looking for parts. It’s been many years since I have been to that.

Well, I’m in Kentucky so it’s wait five minutes and the weather will change on you. We have had some really strange weather lately. Outside in a T-shirt. Next day it snows, then warms up again, etc..

I’m still around guys we bought some property that has a an actual pole barn I can work on vehicles in. The old truck is still out in Iowa. It’s on my aunts property along with some other old iron that my dad has. I am about to acquire in 1961 olds dynamic 88 that I had sold to a buddy almost 25...

There is plenty to work with there. All you need is the drive to do it.

A hot rod is what you make of it. A four-door sedan is cool. They are hard to come by and something that you don’t see every day is one fixed up into a street machine or hot rod or whatever you wanna call it. If I wanted to put a tunnel ram through the hood (and I do), that would be cool. What I...

Hey guys, it’s been a while since I have posted anything. I looked back and I can’t believe I have had this truck this long and not been able to do anything with it (1959 Apache). It’s been in a dirt floor barn up until last year. My dad sold the farm and the neighbor is letting us store our...

Great show 2013 beatersville was a really good time spent with my dad. I was able get some ideas for my truck. I didn't see any '58 or 59 apaches but there were plenty of 55 through 57's. It was packed. I still havenot gotten my old truck home yet but when I do I will post pics. Take care...

I have decided to save the dough and get my '59 home. I'll let everyone know whats up. Thanks for a great forum. Brian

I know I can do it if I put my mind to it, I just have to get it home first, Its in Iowa.

Are you going to build it? I think the straight axle went away in '60. Looks like somebody started on it with the gas door location. Good luck!

Trade cabs, easier.

Good luck with it!

Wow I really like how your truck looks and that you didn't go to chrome front pieces, I want to leave mine white also. Not googd with metal working yet but I will learn with this truck, I don't doubt myself, I just try that must harder cause I know I can do it. Thanks for the pics.

You can have fun with that, I will have to look and see how far Cadiz is from Shelbyville. I am only blessed with a carport and driveway to work in so If I get that T frame tomorrow I have to hide it from the wife til the other repairs are completed. Yeah build that truck, there is a lot to work...

Welcome, you'll have fun here!

Supposedly it was built at one of those "Lincoln Tech" type schools so I would hope he received a good grade on it. I am going with a friend thats building a '31 ford coupe streetrod to look at it. Does not have a rear axle front is not installed. $350 is a good price if the frame is good and a...

Yeah guys I was wondering about this issue also. I live in Kentucky, the frame I am considering buying is home built, I was thinking of making my own woody body and stuff like that. Anybody in Kentucky know if its a problem here?

I am fairly new here and I want to see you build it, just do it man!

Tomorrow I go and look at a T bucket frame with 32 front suspension. I'll have a look see and maybe pick it up. My 59 truck is out west and this is here and I want to play, extremely low budget though. Wants $350 for it. I will post pics if I get it and expect ideas from you. Thanks, Brian
