Yesterday I decided to install the lowering springs I traded for...:uhmk:

Quick and easy as compared to removing the originals...;) Here's a comparison shot of the '70 Chevelle springs I installed during the build process, and the CPP lowering set...

...and a comparison pic of the truck with the different springs... top is with the taller ones...

...the Chevelle springs seemed a bit loose and the CPP springs seem a bit more stout... new Rear shocks are in the forecast...:chevy:
That's all for this installment...:mm:

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

I like it. Looks level now.

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

Nice!

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

The new rear drop looks good! Maybe bring the nose down just a hair now?

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

Hi Don that some build thread do like the trading idea works very well great believer of it :metal: Pete

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

Like the stance. Is the ride quality the same or is it stiffer?

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

Thanx Brother!!!;)

Thanx Brotha!!! :mm:

Thanx Man!!! Contemplating that...:chevy:

Thanx Man!!! Trading is the way to go, especially on a budget build...:metal:

Thanx Greg!!! Ride quality seems fine, the rear is a bit stiffer, but it needed to be. The Chevelle rear spring just weren't stout enough...:uhmk: Stay dry!!!:lol:

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

Not much happening recently, been busy with life...:sumo:

I did find a bag of rubber stops I'd ordered through Brother's a few years ago...:lol: Found some stops for the Gas door I added as well as new Hood bumpers and Glove-box bumps...:metal: There are 2 flat stops and 4 larger stops that have defied my reasoning as to where they go...:banghead:
Here's a pic, so if anyone has an idea, please reply...

Enjoy the cooler weather guyz!!!:mm:

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

Hey Bro.
Looks like you are enjoying a little Holy leisure today.

Stepper's stance is looking good to me.

I've been scrounging parts for the 62 and putting together some old digital camera equipment for use out in the shop. I'm not liking trying to use my phone for documenting my slow progress.

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

Curly wurly, one of the 4 main food groups, right up there with coffee, tobacco and alcohol :lol:

Truck looks great levelled out :metal: I think the rubbers are the door stops that go in the small holes in the door jamb ??

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

I'm not sure about the flat bumpers, but the 4 other taller ones are for the doors, 2 on each side. Should be holes in the cab door jamb for them to fit into.

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

Thanx Brother... been watching your updates...:mm:

Thanx mate!

Thanx man... will check the door jambs this weekend :metal:

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

Good to see an update brotha, same here. Life in the way. Hoping for some better weather and truck time this weekend. Time is the problem...and the cold weather. Paint don't like it. :chevy:

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

First kid on my block with these...:metal::lol::chevy:

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

Man, I gotta get me some of them…

Like the update, the ride height looks perfect. Bet its more fun working on the truck when you're not under the gun. Fun is just one of the rewards…. Keep after it bro.

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

Very cool Don.

Good to FaceTime,earlier too.

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

Thanx Clem... Driving the ol' girl to work tomorrow...:mm: Seen Greg's post with the stickers and commented I needed one... He was cool enough to send 3...:bann:


Thanx Mate! Always enjoy our chats...:mm:

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

...Oh yeah, almost forgot... 4 of the rubber pieces I asked about are now installed in both door jambs, sorry no pic... Still have the 2 flat ones, still at a loss for where they go...:chevy:

Laterz...:burnout:

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

Cool little hot wheel.

Do those 2 flat ones go on the dash in the upper corners of the glove box opening? The ones for the glove box door to hit against when its closed?

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

Thanks for the place of honor on the glass.

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

My pleasure Doc!!! ;)
