We cleaned and straightened my son's garage, since we are done with building my '67 swb stepper. Then we pushed in his next project.

Shyguy, looks like you and your son did an amazing job on that stepper. Can't wait to see his c10 project! Love the stripes on cowl. Did you guys have a build thread anywhere? I'm curious what the rest of it looks like

Tip: Make sure that is fully out before you put it back in the tank. Otherwise, you run the risk of having a hot dog.

The rear end was leaking so I pulled the cover off, cleaned it, re-painted it and re-installed. Also painted the master cyclinder since I am finally getting to drive it and it was starting to show a little rust. Lastly I fixed the shifter. I had hooked up 1st and reverse backwards. It was interesting the first time I started to pul off. Now it is time to go to the in-laws to eat. Happy Thanksgiving to all. I'll ask everyone to take a minute today and really think about what you are thankful for. Tell the people you love how much you are thankful for them!!

Like how this sits, is it static or an airbag drop?

Sorry, I forgot. Here's my link with a little info if you were thinking of going that route with your stepper.

got my cm prepped for running the exhaust through it. I gotta cut the tubes a lil' shorter before welding them in. I just might cut one in half and use the two halves.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
My son drove my '67 swb steeper out to my house in the country today, first time on the road since we just finished building it.

Just one slight problem, it died and would not start about 3 blocks from my son's house.

We went back to my son's and got some supplies and tools. He checked for spark-ok, checked for fuel at carb, none. He finally isolated it to the tank as being why there was no fuel getting to the carb. He removed the pickup tube/sending unit and found that the sock had broken apart and plugged the pickup line.

Got the line all cleared out and away we went, it got home ok.

Today I yanked the old, dead I6 250 out of the engine bay. Tomorrow I hope I will be posting that the new, healthy I6 250 is put together from breather to oilpan and back in the truck.

Well I got the SS steering wheel mounted and the new air horns work great with the new horn button.
I installed a set of the Chevy horns a few weeks back.
Can you hear me now! I think so.
