I aquired this 1960 Apache from my Stepson who purchased it from his grandmother. The truck has been in my wifes family since 1964. I am dedicating the rebuild to my wife's father who has dimentia/alzheimers. I started on this project three years ago and it came to an abrubt stop. I am at the point now where I don't care what it takes, I am going to get it done within the next year.

It is admirable that you are dedicating the rebuild to your wife's father. Good for you!

Cool another 60 Apache. My 60 Apache project is 6 years in the making and still doesnt run. Is yours stepside or fleetside.

Mine is a fleetside long bed. The chasis is nearly complete. All I need to do is attach the power steering gearbox, the sway bar, and purchase and mount the gas tank. I still have a little fabricatioin to do on the cab. Then I'll start putting things back together.
The engine had been swapped out with a 327 several years ago. I have had it bored out to max and the same with the crank. I have had the heads redone for performance. I hope to be getting 350 - 375 HP. We'll see.
