Hello to all my fellow "Best bodystyle Chevy ever made" truck owners. I've followed your forum for several weeks now and you all seem like a very informative group. I bought my 60 Apache 20 in 1989 for $2,200(my wife thought I was crazy)and drove it eleven years before starting this very expensive restoration project. Prior to this truck I had a 65,63,66,and a 61. These were all buy cheap and sell for profit vehicles. When I found my 60, and being I was born in 60, this old truck became my baby. In 1991 I replaced the original six (I still have it) with a SB350. After two more 350's, I found SB400 and used this engine from 1995 until removing it 2000.(too much speed for such a small master cylender) Now I have a carberated 91 SB350 and 700R tranny (both rebuilt) to install when I'm done with the frame. After some research I've found this truck came from LA,Calif. In 14 years I've never seen or heard of another 1960 "20" Must be rare. The hood, cab, and bed are at a friends shop who's a master at restorations. Fenders, inner fenders,and radiator core support will be new. My goal is to have it finished by late Sept. when the " Four wheel off road jamboree truck show" comes to town. (Indianapolis) I won't enter this year(Iwant it to be perfect) I'll just cruise the hotels and turn some heads. I'll be asking quite a few questions in the next couple mounths and I'm sure I'll answer some. Thanks for letting me come on board. Pappy
