Thanx!!! Had axles from my 90 model that were no good, so before I make a run to sell my junk metal, I scarfed this flange...;)

Thanx Mate!:mm:

I just hate those wiggly surprises. Had a couple this summer myself. Glad you were prepared.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanx Wade… Wiggly surprises are never fun...:eek:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Not a lot happening this week, Supposedly the boy's bud is bringing me Wheel money tomorrow… time will tell...:lol:

After some cleaning and rearranging in the shed… I grabbed the spare tire carrier and was going to prep for paint when I realized my crappy weld job on the axle flange, as well as the mess the plasma cutter left, was going to require some attention...:rolleyes:

Here's where I ended up, still need to do some weld grinding on the cover (which ended up being a ceiling fan hanger cover) and then paint the whole shebang...:uhmk:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Great work brotha! I like the look of the top arms under the bed rail instead of on the top. :metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Looks good Don another job done . Sometimes it's good to do the little ones that need doing in between the main job . That's the best way to keep you sane .

Thanx Guyz!!! :mm:

Not much done today, started out pulling carpet outta our closet and putting down some wood laminate flooring… One of the projects my beautiful wife reminded me still needed to be done… I did our bedroom floor back in the spring… After that I did a bit of shed cleaning...

Here's a pic of the next small project…. Not sure if I'll make one of both project trucks, or just the one… Any guesses???

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

No idea what your sat two pics will end up becoming, or were before. Suspect the handle is a rare thing?


I also noted....... Over 100k views !!

Not bad for a "Budget Build" read. :metal::metal::metal::metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanx Rian!!! :mm: over 100K views...:clap: Did you see Bomp is almost double the views???
the 2 pics are unrelated to one another and the second pic is not a handle…;)

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Congrats on over 100000.
Oil can opener on the one pic. Those were the days.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

I found this photo on FB and thought, "Cool Idea!" ;)
