Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Hey dude, you've been MIA on here for a while.
I figured your work schedule was keeping you off line. Glad to see you are O.K. and still getting around.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Not related to my truck, but truck stuff nonetheless...
![]() Today I rode an hour or so north to meet up with Donnie, aka DWCardfan, to pick up a fender... A fellow truck guy needed a fender for a '64 rat he's building and Donnie happened to have one... A quick phone call and a few texts and the deal was done... Upon arriving at Donnie's work... ![]() Donnie heading back to work... ![]() The fender secured for the ride south... ![]() Tony should have his '64 on the road in a month or so... I will post pics when he shows up... He was quite pleased, especially with the 283 emblem as that's the engine powering his rat... ![]() While Tony was here collecting the fender, we struck a deal trading a section of my bent frame for an extra cowl extension he has... ![]() Thanx Again Donnie... ![]() ![]() ![]() Laterz Guyz & Galz!!! ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Over the course of the previous 6 months, or so, life has really changed for my wife and I... My hands aren't up to the task of holding a tattoo machine 4-6 hours everyday, so I made the decision to get a real job.
![]() ![]() For now, I will be out here randomly and will update as time allows. Thanx Guyz for following along and encouraging me through these changes... ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Don, too bad you have to cut back on tattooing. You're obviously very talented.
On the bright side... you can now collect a paycheque from somebody else, and get an employee discount on C10 parts!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Don we've both had to shift gears late in our young lives. It sounds like you've made the right decisions. The talent will never go away but the discount on parts might. Orielly up here stocks tons of parts for our trucks and they are my paint store too. Good people...
Wish you and your lady all the best, and JoJo too. Post when you can and keep the hands dirty. |

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Wishing you the best in your new ventures Don! I can relate a bit. I can barely fathom all the big changes (some good/some crazy) that have happened in my life within the past year & a half. Some are still ongoing. Just gotta continue keeping faith that the Lord knows best & will see us through it all!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
TRUCK TIME!!!
![]() Had a little time this afternoon to play with the stepper... ![]() My son was over for the day, so after taking care od some business closing moving, almost completed, we rolled the truck out into the sun... ![]() First order of business was to install the hood hinges so I could open the hood without help, or threat of damaging the hood by dropping... ![]() The boy is all about videos so he shot a couple in the process... I was discussing how we might set up a puller, idea stolen from Mark up in Washington State, when the boy zipped off into the shed returning with a large box end wrench... He hooked the spring and proceeded to pull... Okay Class, raise your hands if you have ever had a brilliant idea and once completed, realized, "Maybe I should've put a bit more thought into that?" ![]() Yep, you guessed, once the spring dropped into place... how's the wrench coming off??? ![]() ![]() After laughing at ourselves, here's the 2cd try... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW-ETzxmdQA&feature=youtu.be Here are some shots after the hood install... ![]() ![]() Here's the first Video he shot... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZamynoldmE&feature=youtu.be Thanks for looking in guys... ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Sir:
In post 1968, the tail gate looks like a patch panel was applied to the the top of the tail gate. Did you make the patch panel or do you have a vendor for this part? Love your builds BTW. |
