This is my 1962 Chevy Apache.It doesn't look like much and needs a little TLC but im working hard on it. I plan to replace the old rotten wooden bed and redo the interior. When i bought it some one had added alot of stupid things to the interior. I also plan to put it back as a three on the tree, because it was put onto the floor. I am going to replace the weather seals around the doors and windows because there old and rotten. I also am going to work on the engine and transmission to bring them back to almost original factory standards. The wheels are going to get painted a different color or chromed i have yet to decide. I also need to get a new rear bumper and replace the rear lights. Im sure i will run into other things i need to work on but they are yet to be found and kinda add to the fun of restoring an old vehicle.

Heres front views of the truck. The font bumper has the word CHEVROLET in it but has been painted over. I plan to bring that back out so you can read it.
