Sweet truck brotha! :metal: Glad its home safe and sound. :mm:

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

Nice :metal:

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

Hey Don how about selling me the bed off the truck with the camper on it

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

Truck looks even better sitting in your yard.
Way to go.

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

Hey wait a minute that does not look like my driveway. Haha. Nice score brother!!!! Hope to drive mine down soon. Still have a few bugs to fix.

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

thats a cool truck Don and will be a fun build.
looks like someone changed to a 60 grill with the bars in the middle... all the better.

Pete and I are going out to Eddies this Saturday... do you want me to secure that hood? Not sure if we can bring it back this trip but we can make sure it's not sold and for him to hold it till we can get it.

those early models can really grow on ya... congrats on getting her home.
JoJo approves too...

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

Congratulations on the new truck. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

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

Well done Don.

Like I did say to you before.

This truck has three things I like.....


1.) Gun rack
2.) Camper shell
3.) Apachè name tags (Would rock those on my truck for sure)

OK, so number 4 is the fact JoJo approved of it all.

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

Ahhh, got it home safe and sound.
Great looking truck, will need more pics..

Super Cool Score!

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

Thanx Guyz! :metal:
Although the tailgate is a bonus, the missing hood puts a slight damper on things, but I do know where one resides in the hills in NW Arkansas...;)

No direction in mind as of yet, put the proverbial gears are turning...:chevy:

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

Thanx Greg!!! You snuck in whilst I was typing... Look for build thread coming soon...:mm:

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

Sorry Daniel, that's one of the reasons I jumped on this one, but will keep you in mind...

:metal:

See ye soon...

Yes please on Securing the hood!!! Thanx a ton!!! I like the early grille as well, I remember when the new year model cars came out in September, and since I'm a Nov 60 model, the 61 with 60 grille fits :lol:

Thanx mate...:mm:

It's hoing to be in the bullpen until the 65 is road-worthy,..

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

Thanx Brotha! Now I don't need your tailgate...:lol:

Thanx Bill!!! :chevy:

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

I was typing replies earlier on my phone and a bunch of replies came through whilst I was hunting and pecking on the little phone keyboard...:lol:

I think I caught up finally… so after work this afternoon I had my bro-in-law help me get the hood I had lying around bolted on...:mm:

In the very first post of this thread I mentioned that I was originally looking at a '60 model a friend of mine has… well I went with the '65 and now have found out this is a '60 model that was built in St. Louis, not a '61...:metal:

So as Clem, so astutely, noticed it is rocking a '60 grille which it was born with...:metal:

Sorry guys, but for more pics you will have to wait for the Build thread coming soon!!!:bann:

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

I did not figure you would want to sell it but I would make you a nice offer if you were to change your mind

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

Thanks Daniel and I will keep that in mind, but right now all I will part with is the camper shell...

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

I'll be keeping an eye pealed for that build thread! :metal:

Turbo would be kinda cool on that 235. If it ain't locked up, but if you add enough boost that'll unlock it! :haha:

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

It's up and linked in my signature Brotha!!!:metal::metal::metal:

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

OK bro, you got the 60 secured and it's future somewhat planned… let's get the budget stepper back on the table. desperately need progress and many many updates. :metal:

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

Thanx Clem for the kick in the tail to get my focus re-adjusted...:metal:

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

I like the new truck, very cool! Like Clem said, let's get one rolling lol. Glad your leg is better! Bet you're glad to get out of that boot.

This is after the 80 grit, still gotta go finer and smooth out the filler, but another step closer nonetheless...:uhmk:
