Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Morning Don,
Great move on the trade. One thing I have always said, is that there is no emotion attached to my toys. Want them? Swop, trade, pay and they are yours. I like it so far. Rat Wrecker sounds like a good thing too.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
So yesterday while visiting with a friend at the car show, he asked how the rat project was coming along… I explained that I was at a standstill while working on the 65… Long story short, he's now the owner of the 47 Rat project and I'm the owner of this…

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
That looks like a possible quick flip. Or a good weekend hauler.
Score! |

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Good swop Don and being a driver it's a win win . I guess you are just going to just flip it . Or are we going to Clem's in it if the stepper isn't finished ?

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Hottest day of the year so far and I mounted a Tach in the Right side of my Gauge Cluster…
![]() Using the extra parts I picked up recently I started cutting… ![]() Tach with original blank surround… ![]() Mounted in the Cluster... ![]() ![]() ![]() Sits a tad deep, but will be readable nonetheless... ![]() Just gotta polish up my other original lens that I picked up recently, it's in better shape than this one… ![]() I also picked up another bench seat that will either end up in the 65 or the 72 I just traded for… The seat was free from a friend that has had it in a shed for a handful of years… ![]() Here's the seat after the top layer od dirt, dust & gunk cleaned… Still a ways to go with the cleaning,,, ![]() ![]() Here's a detail shot of the pattern in the Seat vinyl… ![]() til later... ![]()

A long time ago, pre 90's, there used to be Marathon Candy bars sold here, these are the same, only they are sold in the UK and not in the states, made by Cadbury… Caramel and chocolate...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Not much to update… Work has been crazy and the wife and I are trying to put the house back together after getting her daughter and grandkids moved out…
![]() I had recently posted a pic of the resistor with in the back of my heater diverter box which came out in 2 pieces when I pulled the box from the cab… 1963c-10 offered me one and it arrived... ![]() This past Tuesday I received a box from Jon aka 1963c-10… he had a 65 heater assy that he didn't need, so he was kind enough to box it up and send my way… Lots of great people out here, Thanks again Jon… ![]() Here's a couple of pics… The resistor is in one piece... ![]() ![]() I dig the paper with his truck's color used in packing… ![]() ![]() Cab going on soon... ![]()
