Can you save time and money on your Chevy truck project with a new frame? They say that life is all about choices. Stacey rolls in a well-worn 59 Chevy Apache pickup and shows how to approach a project, whether you are keeping it original or planning on modifying it. Then it’s on to the frame and the importance of starting with a solid foundation, as Stacey shows why an aftermarket replacement frame might be your best bet, no matter what your plans are with the paint and interior. It’s a great introduction to a level 4, frame-off build and something every gearhead should see!
