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…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrExtension added…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrAfter welding the first slide, I started on the 2cd and after these tack welds, the wire on my welder ran out...   Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrI 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…
 Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrHere's the wire for the welder…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr…and I have never understood the reasoning behind the "Do Not Eat" warning on the silica packs...  Personally, I've never even considered eating the contents of one of these... but apparently someone has...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickrafter getting home we mocked up the seat with the modified mounts…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrHere's a shot of the seat back near the gas tank, this is with the seat adjusted all the way back…  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrHere's a shot of the seat and a console idea...  just kidding… Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickrtill 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.
