Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Friday was productive...
I was able to get the Alternator wiring complete... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Off today and tomorrow, so why not jump into the Brake lines... ![]() After locating all my parts and pieces, it was off to the parts store to return 2 hoses previously purchased and get the correct one as well as some brake lines complete with fittings... Here's the result of the first trip... ![]() Here's the rubber hose that will feed the lines to each wheel cylinder... ![]() ...and a shot of the line feeding the driver's side wheel... ![]() I was planning on getting a bit further today, but a thunderstorm seemed a good enough reason to find my way to my recliner and vegetate in front of the telly for a bit... also gives Jojo a place to hide from the thunder... ![]() More Brake line work tomorrow, and I may even try to get energetic enough to redo the rear brakes, especially replacing the wheel cylinders... til next time guyz and gals!!! ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
nice work Don… I also like that green brake line, bends so easy, no tools required.
Tomorrow is a good day for brakes… It funny how dogs are afraid of thunder. My 2 big ol' shepherds hide from storms. Hope the boogie man doesn't make loud thunder sounds. |

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Thanks for the updates and chat Don.
As Clem says, these brake lines are another cheap, sensible thing to replace on our trucks. 50-ish year old brake lines probably can do e With it.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Definitely! You get drenched in sweat before you even get to work on the truck! Me and Carson worked on the GTO yesterday, but we took many A/C breaks and drank lots of water. You're making good progress man, it'll be on the road real soon.
Chris

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Well another job 95% complete...
![]() Spent yesterday and today plumbing the brakes... ![]() ![]() Started at the back, cleaned up the plungers for the wheel cylinders and installed the new ones in order to run the lines... ![]() ![]() ![]() Although the last pic doesn't show the completed line connection, it is now complete, Master cylinder to wheel cylinders, still gotta fab a bracket for the rubber line... ![]() Today was the front... that is, after a trip to Little Rock for my wife's routine Doctor appt, then Truck time... ![]() ![]() Slowed me down for about an hour, then back after it... All of the hard lines, Front to Rear are plumbed, and ready for bleeding once I get the rotors turned, and the rear shoes replaced... Other than that, I need to secure the lines and finish up protecting the Wiring harness to the rear... Also a good time to mount the Fuel filter and pump back near the tank... Used a paint can to coil the lines coming from the Proportioning Valve... ![]() Pass/Side line... ![]() Driver's/Side back to the tee... ![]() Another shot of the tee, I took the line past the tee and looped back to facilitate easier servicing down the road. The tee is right at the back of the crossmember, so hooking the line up from the rear made sense to me... ![]() ![]() Caliper in place, waiting on me to modify the end to work with the drop spindle... As it is, the end that bolts to the caliper is bent in a way that will run the rubber hose into the upper ball joint... after turning the rotors, this week, I'll address that mod... ![]() ![]() As I draw closer to driving this for the first time, the little things still needing attention seem to add up... ![]() ![]() Til next time... ![]()
