  • The '58 Made its way back down to the shop a while ago, Spent some time on the brake lines, suspension adjustments and tightening, a 3" exhaust system, and a complete wiring harness install. All seemed to be going smooth until the brake booster crapped out, no big deal, replaced it and we were on our way, until the pickup in the distributor decided it didn't want any part of the program...... Replaced the faulty unit, retimed the engine, and we were on our way!

    New guy here, I was taken in by his impressive '58, what a sweet ride! Nice work and explanations on what and how you were doing on this big project. I would have went with a fleetside just cause '58 was the first year Chevrolet introduced the fleetside bed. excellent truck and great work!

    That truck is a beautiful machine. From an era when trucks had decent looks.

    I have heard of an issue that causes this that might be what the problem is. Some of the GM distributors had a short wire to your pick up and as it advanced it would temporarily disconnect causing the issue. They make a pigtail to fix the problem that fits down in the distributor.

    Great work. Kinda getting used to the concise, not drawn out dialog unlike some other vids. Love your content.

    Love the work you do. I just recommemd 4 or 5,000° Kelvin LED lights so we can see actuall colors.

      Yeah, i know the lighting sucks in here, i just bought led light bars for the other half of the shop, but they are 7K so i usually run the sodium lights with them. You are talking about the yellow high bay lights in the shop correct?

    I could never have that nice bed, it wouldn’t last a day

      Yeah, I hear ya. That's why I asked him at the end of the video if he was gonna throw those Pontiac manifolds in the bed, 😆... I'd screw it up in a hurry myself.... 👍

    Love this build. I'm just starting to plan my 58 apache build. What pedal assembly did you use? I can't stand the factory brake pedal.

    • @rottersgarage

      Pretty sure it was a Camaro pedal assembly, but I modified it pretty heavily to allow for the clutch master to work out. 👍

      Thanks, and yes it did turn out to be the pickup, we tossed another unit in and it was great after that. Thanks for watching!
