Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
We have sun shine and cool weather, the coolest in a long time for August.
My wife and went for a walk and then for a swim this after noon. The water is very cool and the water level is very high in the lake for this time of year. No complaints from me. Always good to hear you are getting in some truck time.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Forty plus days of 90s. Stupid humidity and rain almost every afternoon. Must be one of the hottest summers I can recall. It's supposed to cool down to the 80s the first part of the week and back to the 90s.

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. |

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...
