Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Did you use glass setting tape? If so what thickness was it and how did it do? I had fits with mine. Looks like you did a really nice job.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Getting ready to do my vent windows also. Do you need to order the rivets and tool to repair it? What all do I need to completed it?

Since I am no where near ready to re-install and they were worked on by PO I haven't replaced the tape that is already there, but will replace when I get ready to re-install... Thanks for the input Alan, much appreciated!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Go to the 60-66 FAQ Index, page 1 and look up the "Wing or vent window rebuild" Go to the last page and check out post #69, Alan has a spot on write-up on redoing these... I purchased the Rivet tool, rivets and step rivets from Ecklers and the only thing I did was duct tape the rivet tool to a punch to allow me ease in doing the rivets at each end of the rigid strip. I believe Alan may have made his own rivet tool that was longer than the one I ordered... Any further ?s PM me, I'll be happy to answer.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Got the steering column painted, now got to put it back together...
Then, maybe a step or two backwards... Pulled the cab to do some frame cleaning and prepping for bodywork and paint. Since I didn't have enough of a concrete pad available we dug a trench to push the cherry picker into so we could roll the frame away once we had the cab lifted. My son had the idea due to the low stance of his car and dealing with ways to get a jack under it...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Hard to see in the previous post, but my son dug out a trench for the cherry picker to sit down in so we could roll the frame out and the stand in... Worked like a charm. Here's a pic of his Miata and a pic of a Jack in a garage floor which was the inspiration for the cherry picker trench...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Not much done recently, ordered and received some bits and pieces and pulled headlight brackets and buckets out today, found some damage on the pass side bracket and promptly straightened out the bends, gonna make a run to get sand blaster media tomorrow in preparation of stripping some paint and frame cleaning...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
I just can't get over how clean, rust free, your cab is. Especially the cab corners. I've squinted and scrutinized over the one pic of the cab in the air. Man thats clean.
You have one solid truck for your build. ![]() |

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Thanks, but with winter weather, being what it is here in Arkansas, and the fact that most of the work is being done outside, it is time to focus on the smaller details, plan on doing the steering wheel this coming weekend and sand-blasting some more small parts like the headlight buckets...
Thanks for the compliments... just taking it slow now that the colder weather is on and off, 64 here yesterday tomorrow's high is supposed to be mid 40s, not fun outside trying to do much, we will see what the weekend holds...

Wow that sure puts a crimp in the truck progress! Reminds me of when I lived in Idaho. Hang in there, spring is right around the corner.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
This is unusual for us, within the next day or so it will be gone and we're lucky to see snow more than once a year, we should be good but ya never know... just a little bit of a slowdown...
