1959 3100 Fleetside

So, I think I have made my decision ;-). I am going to install a Mustang II IFS on the front and then use an Air Over Leaf system to allow me to haul stuff and eventually tow. After I feel more comfortable with Air Suspension, I may convert the front to air ride as well.

I would love to see pictures. Keep us all posted on the suicide door project. I would still love to do this just because it is such a striking change.

I do still have the original straight front axle and I doubt that the previous owners/builders tried reforming that axle. I do only have a single leaf in front and on back and I am not sure if anything has been reverse mounted (I need to spend some time under both of my trucks comparing...

I am very interested in this. I was thinking about doing the same thing to my 1959 modified truck. I do not remember ever seeing one of these trucks with suicide doors, now I wonder if this is the reason. I had not considered the curve in the door and what issues that might cause. I hope we...

I need to replace the clutch in my 1959 original truck. This truck still has the straight 6 235 and the three speed on the tree. I am hoping someone here can tell me if the stock clutch is the 9 inch or the 11 inch. I am not sure which I have and have not been able to find a definitive...

I have a heavily modified truck that I need some advise about. It has been lowered 6 inches. This was done by the previous owners and I am not completely certain how the task was accomplished. However, I do know that the rear only has one leaf spring and I think the front has dropped...

Cool, I might be interested in the additional leaf springs. I am out of town at the moment, but I will get some pictures posted soon.

Well, I purchased another 1959 truck, now I have a 59 longbed stepside that is all original, and a 59 shortbed fleetside that has been modified. Modifications: Chevy 350 HEI Ignition 700R4 Trans 1983 Camaro radiator, axle, and drive shaft lowered suspension (about 6 inches) The...

I have a 1959 Apache 32, I am in need of a stock wheel but can not find one in your catalog. Do you have these available?

Anyone know what the stock wheel size is for a 1959 Apache 3200? I need an additional wheel for a spare, I've been looking on e-bay and found a few possible candidates but I need a few more specifics about the wheel before I buy. I know the diameter is 15 inches (which actually measures 16...

Excellent advise! I do have a driver and it could be a daily driver if it weren't for the super hot days here in Texas. I do not have the garage of my dreams so a body off chassis restoration was going to be pretty tough.

I would like to cleanup and repaint the frame on my 1959 Apache. I do not really have the space to do a body off restoration, can I accomplish this task reasonably without removing the body? Has any one out there done a cleanup and repaint of the frame without removing the body, or should I...

I would like to beef up the performance in my 1959 Long Bed Step Side straight six 235. I have seen the fenton split headers and fenton dual intake on our sponsors website. Before I buy I would like some comments form other folks that are using these products. I am also open to other ideas...

The VIN plate indicates "Trim - STD", I assume this means Standard Trim level. However, what was the "Standard" trim level? I have sun visors, arm rests, and a cigar lighter. I do not have a radio, or speakers, or the delux heater controls

Thanks for the VIN information! I posted pictures about a month ago but never came across an easy to find them again. I now have a link to them in my signature. I hope it works!
