"Don't forget to check inside the cave!" Because you'll find The Mighty U'cha.
So skinning is not needed, a special quest-related item is not needed.... the pelts are a drop from the apes, and it's not a 100% drop rate. Just in case anyone was wondering, as I was after my first kill.

Description
There's plenty of money to be had here in Un'Goro, you just need to know where to look! Apes may be common here in Un'Goro, but they're much rarer up north. In Everlook, a gorilla hide fetches ten times what you'll get for it down here! I'm not going to send you all the way up to Winterspring - that'd be irresponsible - but I could use your help actually obtaining some hides. You'll find gorillas at Fungal Rock, to the northeast, near a waterfall. Don't forget to check inside the cave!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Marshal's Refuse
A big part of making money is shamelessness. You have to be willing to profit off of the misfortune of others. It all ends up boiling down to one question: How much do you love money? When Marshal and his crew abandoned their refuge up to the north, they left behind lots of supplies.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Northern Pylon
You've done us a number of favors, <name>... now let Gremix do one for you. The attacks on Marshal's Refuge were terrible, undoubtedly. They came without warning, and took no prisoners. They were lucky that so many of them survived.
