1958 Apache Butchered!! 

*Rick its great that you were able to grab what you did.... even if it's to help others out, for them doing up their rigs with a part at a time.*

You have your own wildlife preserve. So cool.

Just discovered your channel again. growing up i loved watching your vids. Thanks for all the knowledge you spat into my little brain. Forever grateful for the internet and having the opportunity to learn about these old trucks. Keep up the good work. You old timers are truly inspirational to us younger guys who wanna learn as much as possible. Thanks again CTR!!

Hi Rick! A truck is on my bucket list. One day, brother, one day.

Ahh poor truck makes me wanna cry...apache are my heart

Love the deer at the end of the video has no fear while he's bedding down love the wildlife again too

Nice Save Rick

Awesome morning brother and sister !!! Watching before I go to work pray yall have an awesome day !!! Wow !!! It was chopped up for sure but still salvageable

Wow a 1958 anniversary model. I recently looked at a 1968 anniversary model. The guy didn't know what the truck used to be. It was also a CST. It also began life with 327. It also had the gold and white paint job. Now you waiting for the other boot to drop or the hatchet! It had been a long bed. And the old boy 70 years old was known to build hot rods. Thought he tries handy work I cutting it down. But first the 327 wouldn't running so you put a 305 in it from something. Then he cut it down to 6-ft bed. Now I didn't take measurements but the bed appeared to be correct a fairly close you're right dimensions. But when he cut the frame he did not cut it underneath the cab like he's supposed to. He cut it took the section out of the frame in about the same place that he reduced to the front measurement of the bed. Then of course he had to cut the arms going back to the rear axle. He overlapped them side by side and welded them together! Not running with 327 being a CST and an anniversary truck to boot a good $12,000 truck! Running it would be probably $18,000 and that doesn't take in consideration of the golden anniversary paint job. He also took the chrome bumper cut it down so the corners would hug the body better. The back bumper It's from like a 62 65 Chevy pickup and it's original not a step bumper. It's painted. It's not cut down doesn't look like because it would fit in its original length. The guy was asking around $3,000.. I saw another one that was a duplicate of this one about 900 mi away the way it was cut down. But it was cut down properly. And he used couldn't get $4,500 out of it. Nowadays he could probably do okay with it people are accepting cut Downs. Okay so let's try and gold and white anniversary paint jobs together. It is pretty common to say that truck is murdered. Kind of like saying it was sick but amped up to the next compliment level. No the truck you brought back was murdered by sheet metal butcher like you said. Maybe not so many words. I also shared a story because I didn't realize that they had done that paint job every 10 years? I thought it was a 1968 item by itself. Maybe every 10 years I guess. But I thought 1968 would be it's cold and anniversary you know officially you're supposed to give certain products for each 5 or 10 year wedding anniversary year. But but your truck that you bought was an anniversary truck it was straight. Short bed fleet side big rear window. I think you said it has six cylinder but otherwise it had every option going for it! And there's nothing wrong with the six cylinder in those old trucks. To see that truck, it made my other eye sore! Speaking of which doc was so much more encouraged after the follow-up of my second procedure. We'll see and yes pun intended, where I'm going to be at in a few weeks. It's something eerie for a guy that had eyes like a hawk especially when younger. Two other things. I have a 56 1 ton dually Chevy and a 1959 Vikings series 60. Also the 1960 Vikings series 60. I'm getting at the handbrake thing that she said was so valuable. I don't normally sell any parts but if somebody was so interested and you hear dry spell let me know. Assuming those parts would work on whatever application they want it. Because these trucks are not going to be stock. In the 59 is getting updated on the brakes. The 60 I think is a little different mechanism. You're the expert. The 561 ton I don't know if it's on the transmission as well. But it's going to be put on a near chassis so those rims and everything else can go. The last thing as you probably know the pipe coming up on the side of those sixes the older ones for breathing for the crankcase. According to the parts guy those have shot up dramatically in value. Just FYI. Forgive me if I'm sounding like I'm trying to tell you your business cuz I definitely am not. We have red tail hawks, owls, page and a couple of different types of eagles including the bald eagle. Such a majestic bird of strength. A bigger part of your they seem to stay around here. But they do leave it's about time for them to come back on a month or so. I have no pictures to share well I do but I can't on this forum. Thank you for sharing the pictures of your place. Okay another book. Hopefully you and Jamie are ever and ever improving.

I had that same truck, picture is the banner on my channel home page, traded it for a '65 Impala.

Excellent Video Classic Truck Rescue Rick :) also that so nice on Anniversary truck made and heard about but didn't know on colors too on GMC talking about too ! Yes a friend of mine 1955 GMC truck has the Hydro Matic badges to plus Baby Blue also 3 generations on own in his family too and nice see! Plus his truck rare one of 5/8 ton version and if saw wanted buy of him but won't be sold that way yet Lol!

Great video! Share the wealth, you never know what someone else needs!

Super nice score , Rick , 👌

Hi Rick, just watched this video over on Facebook, that was different but cool, but when it came time to comment it wouldn’t let me, ha ha, cool old truck good for parts anyway, catch you later buddy & have a great week

It's got the exact right paint job to be an anniversary, both inside and out, so I would guess it was.

Have a 57 Cameo. Dash and interior colors were different, so your take on what you saw you thought was stock is probably spot on or not too far off.

I’d wondered if you brought that one home. Headed for an ultrasound on my pregnant? leg. Doc wants to rule out clot. (It’s an infection)!

Why could that back window not be welded back on? Then you could save the cab.

And parts is parts....

Isn't the APACHE the Steel FLEETSIDE bed? Or are stepsides also called Apache's...? I've NEVER seen a stepside Cameo! But am fortunate to own a 55 Cameo (FIBERGLASS FLEETSIDE).

Is that a notch for a cargo light above the back window? I never saw one like that before on the Task Force era trucks. Is that original or custom?

Ugh! This poor truck is BEGGING to become whole again.

Even with so little there, you can tell that "was" one top notch truck! Any idea why it didn't survive? Another great video, thanks.

With you saying no BC, am I wrong in assuming no Vin or numbers on frame or cab anywheres to reconstruct or in turn make adoption papers? Wow what a loss . If no can do I have an idea Fer ya. Every piece/part you sell should have a picture and story of thethe donor

I believe it might be a clone if the gas tank is painted white. Cause Gm put the gas tank in after they painted the cabs.

Hey Rick hey Jamie thank you for the video and the other video then I told you I was not paying attention when you move the tree I know you were playing with me Rick just joking I know but I should have been paying attention too

Hey Rick, got any extra radio delete plugs? I need one for a restoration.

TOO BAD FOR THE OLD IRON...KEEP SAFE

An anniversary truck? Gee, what a shame. Had to justify to the wife, for a 10 dollar radio, out of a paycheck HE worked for? Married men in this country are bled to death by leeches. Glad I divorced........

That not hard to put back together an if its as rare as what i think it is bieng that anniversary model then it should be saved .

Hey go get your tractor to move thus. Oh never mind you are too slow I'll do it myself. Kind of rude of you.

Is that a notch for a cargo light above the back window? I never saw one like that before on the Task Force era trucks. Is that original or custom?
