 Only one day off this week, so here's a small update, but an update nonetheless!!! A few more steps forward...  I started the day out planning to finally bleed brakes and clutch... planning to being the key...  After getting the truck off all four wheels, I decided to tackle a few smaller jobs first... Of course, once I was in the middle of mounting and wiring the taillights... Life stepped in and delayed plans to bleed the above mentioned systems...  Once I had the Spare Tire Carrier mounted, I snapped this for Bomp's selfie thread... it'll get there eventually...   Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrHere's the Spare mount...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrI then mounted the Taillights, Tailgate, and Rear Bumper...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrFinally, Here's a Side shot from earlier today...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrA local friend has some drop springs for the rear that I'm contemplating grabbing to drop the back a bit more...  Still need to mount and wire the License Plate Bracket then, other than paint and bed floor, the rear will be complete... Laterz...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
It was pointed out to me once long ago that without life in the way what good would these trucks be.
Then I had to drop everything and do Honey Do's. Sometimes when there is a long gap on truck time the truck time is even more rewarding. Diggin' the progress you're making even with the limited truck time. |

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
It's ALIVE!!!
Spent yesterday and today bleeding clutch and brakes, hanging doors and attempting to spend some quality time with the Mrs. during my 2 days off... Enough of the typing... Enjoy because I sure enjoyed driving the stepper around instead of pushing it...My friend was shooting the video so there's a bit of a delay while I was coming back up the road...  https://youtu.be/oZgBLftGXf0 Here's a shot from early this morning... First formation of geese heading South...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrAnd the truck waiting for some attention...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrNo pics taken through the day... Had a friend over to help with the blleding chores... but here are a few taken after the drive in the video...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrNow to address all the little details and get the front clip on as well as getting the door innards re-installed...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Yesterday after work I got the glass installed in the doors, and today was spent getting the doors buttoned up and the front sheetmetal on...
Thanks to a friend and his son, the sheetmetal was fairly quick and easy... For anyone who's followed along, or even just looked in, the Stepper hasn't looked this complete since the day after it arrived in my driveway in April of 2012...  On to the pics... Glass installed and doors buttoned up, although I still need to instal the door checks...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrI've always wanted to run these mirrors... actually one of the first purchases I made for this build...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrHere's a few pics taken after the front clip was re-installed...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrReally dig these hood ornaments...  Untitled by Donald Olivo, on FlickrFront wiring and exhaust coming up...
