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. |

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Finally scored some serious truck time to help maintain sanity...
![]() After string 10 days together without a day off, ![]() ![]() ![]() In the midst of truck time, I ran into town to fetch my beautiful bride's birthday gift... Gotta earn them thar points... ![]() ![]() After unloading the new sofa, aka bday gift, it was back to the truck... earlier in the day I installed the pedal pads... ![]() ![]() Pedals and sterring column were then installed... ![]() With my son helping, we removed the hood, (bonnet, for my UK mates) ![]() Then the front clip was removed to facilitate ease of working on the Clutch and Brake Hydraulics... ![]() After installing the new rag joint, oops, no pic... I installed the Brake booster and master cylinder using Capt Fab's bracket that I purchased a couple of years back... ![]() ![]() New Parts... ![]() ![]() New Clutch master cylinder awaiting the pizza box template treatment... ![]() Markings made, ready to be drilled, and the larger hole required some hand filing as I didn't have a bit large enough for the boss that goes through the firewall... ![]() Mounted... ![]() ...and when I got to the interior side, I found this pre-punched hole in the firewall mat, that lined up perfectly with the master cylinder... ![]() the master cylinder now resides behind that plug I removed, which is located betwixt me fingers... kinda hard to see in the photo... ![]() After calling it a day before hopping on the riding mower, I shot this pic... the grille support never quite lined up right at the top with the fenders, so I will be readjusting that before the from clip goes back on... ![]() Here's where I ask for any advice on making those adjustments... When I put the front clip on previously, I bolted up the radiator support first the started adding fenders then grille support... each fender sits up about a quarter of an inch above the grille support and thus the bolt holes for the latch catch aren't matching up... Thanks for looking in... ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
After my recent truck time, I decided my shed was more unorganized than usual...
![]() ![]() As a bit of background, this shed was built in 2002 to house my bike and riding mower... After a divorce and meeting and marrying my lovely wife in '07/'08 the shed was deemed too small, so a 16x20 addition was in order... my original tool box, the tall craftsman setup, was purchased in 1982 and has travelled with me to Portugal and back... it was residing in the addition and the Blue Point box and a Cobalt box I acquired over the past few years were in the OG shed... During recent days of truck time I determined the Craftsman needed to join the other boxes for ease of access when jobbing on whatever needs attention... I neglected to get pics of the clutter and the previous placement of the workbench, which was on the left, but here's the fruit of my labor thus far... still more to go in the addition... Here's a shot looking in from the nose of the stepper... ![]() Workbench used to be on the left, the Open sign is from the Tattoo Studio... ![]() The workbench relocated... ![]() Now for the truck stuff... Earlier this week I purchased my brake hoses for the front, and one of the Calipers... the other caliper we had in stock appeared to have a crack around the bleeder screw, so another was ordered and will be here tomorrow morning. I also opted to purchase the Hydraulic line to go from the Clutch M/C to the Slave... ![]() It is adjusted and hooked up, but awaiting the front clip re=install before mounting to the firewall... Here's a before shot of the Caliper I carried home Saturday... ![]() And here's the after shot... ![]() A friend at work asked if I was painting the calipers, which I hadn't considered, but quickly decided on Chevy Orange, to match the engine... ![]() As I prepared to install the clutch line, I called Rian, and spoke with him and Martin... Mentioning the fact that I was about to pull the trigger on a wiring harness, Martin hooked me up with his contact in Florida where he grabbed his harness from... I'll call him tomorrow to price their harness... That's all for this weekend... Cheers Mates, and Thanks for looking in Guyz and Galz!!! ![]()
