Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
I still work for the USAF at Keesler. Been here since late 85 (3rd time) this time . Every time I tried to leave the AF brought me back, so I quit trying and now am used to the place. I still prefer my mountains and hills, but my old body is not taking to the cooler/colder climates anymore.

These are all I have currently, but they were taken during a visit a few years ago.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
A bit of truck time put in today...
![]() Started working on the seat brackets today… I sourced a bench seat outta a '75 square body and the brackets from the '72 seat that was totally trashed will fit the mounting holes so… Here's the seat slides bolted to the rear of the seat… ![]() Extension added… ![]() After welding the first slide, I started on the 2cd and after these tack welds, the wire on my welder ran out... ![]() ![]() ![]() I loaded the flux core wire that came with the welder and finished the 2cd slide.. I neglected to get pics, but the slide for the pass side of the 72 was missing the adjusting lever that is pulled from the driver's side, so I am in the process of fabbing that piece… Pics as soon as I finish it… Once the adjuster piece is fabbed, I will set the seat in place to see how it sits with the extension… I may need to rework the front mounts as they may sit a little higher than I anticipated when adding the extensions... ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
The boy and I made a trek to the Air Force Base Monday and hit HF afterwards…
![]() ![]() Here's the wire for the welder… ![]() …and I have never understood the reasoning behind the "Do Not Eat" warning on the silica packs... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() after getting home we mocked up the seat with the modified mounts… ![]() ![]() Here's a shot of the seat back near the gas tank, this is with the seat adjusted all the way back… ![]() Here's a shot of the seat and a console idea... ![]() ![]() till next time... ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Looking good Don. Funny thing I just redo my seat as well and when I pulled the cover off of it, it still had the original seat cover on it. The back was in nice condition but the bottom was junk. Still pretty cool to see the original on still there.
