my first post here. helping my neighbor work on rebuilding his 1958 Chevy pickup. we first assumed it is an Apache, but it appears bigger than that, looking at many internet sites. we think it is a 3804. "vin" tag says "3G58T 121677". 235 cu in 6 cyl, 12" front brakes, 14 1/2 back. 135" wheelbase. has a dump on the back that appears to be home made with the original bed on it, but we're not sure. many of the parts we find online for the Apache seem like they will be too small. we returned brake hardware kits for the Apache, definitely too small. we've found some sites for Apache parts, but few links for stuff for this bigger vehicle.



Any help sourcing parts for this truck, determining exactly what we have, good sources for parts, etc. will be appreciated! can post some pics if it will be helpful. I am Ken, the guy who will correspond here and search for this stuff, the other guy is also Ken, he an old school mechanic who doesn't do internet, so I am his internet liaison, researcher, purchaser, yada yada. Thank very much for any help you can give!

The 3800 is a one ton truck.
Apache name should not be used for ordering parts etc, as it refers to 1/2 thru 1 ton trucks.

Some pictures of the truck would be very helpful. The 3G at the beginning of your I.D. number would indicate a 1 ton, or smaller truck.

One ton trucks were the only tonnage to have a 135 inch wheel base.
