Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Thanks Alan, if I get over your way I will be sure to say Hello!!!
I posted about that part on my Son's Volvo and questioned the need for a 2 piece driveshaft... In talking with Parts people I believe it is a Safety feature... the motor mounts are designed to give way in the event of a front end collision in order to keep the motor from being forced into the passenger compartment, so between the boy and I we deduced the 2 piece D/S is part of that equation as well. ![]() Have a Blessed Week! ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Decisions, Decisions... One of my local friends is building a ratrod truck out of a free truck he ended up with, a 98-2000 stepside chevy, and he wants to trade me these 20's for my 15's...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
my .02 is grab'em.
20's are spendy especially if the tires are good. Stock steelies are fairly reasonable unless you get them from auctions in Nebraska. The wheels you have at the moment look great but if their not big enough then that might be a problem. You can always sell them later if things change. Them 20's look sick! |

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Have you thought about using more spring and less block? How wide are them 20's? Could be a can of worms trying to tuck those.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Very nice truck build going on here.
I saw your post on Grizz's thread on GJ and had to check things out and join this forum too. Looks I have another cool internet place to hang out now. My home is not too far from your neck of woods. Vince

You will find a very similar culture to GJ here and a load of knowlege. Don, with what you plan for your truck, and if the tires ( real spelling tyres) are good, I agree with Bomp. Go for it. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Thanks for the welcomes Grizz/Rian and jlsaborn.
I can see by the work being done by Don, Bomp and others on here that I will have a lot to keep up with. I will tackle the mechanics but body work is still over my head. May be one day I will take the plunge.

Maybe it is the management part of me stepping over the line. I don't mean anything by it, honestly. In fact, I looked at my post and said: Really? You just posted that?....Are you kidding me? But I am interested in seeing you move forward!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
I'd say go for the twenties myself you can always get different ones down the road of your choice. Not sure how low you will be going with your truck but Atleast you could get an idea on how your truck will sit. Glad you were able to get some truck time in!!!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Hello Don
I like your Impala tail lights too. I remember back in the day seeing 59 Cadillac bullet tail lights on step side fenders some would be surface mounted and some would be frenched in. Both ways looked very cool. There used to be a lot of frenched in radio antennas too.
