Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Since the last update, I've sorted the Brake light issue, New switch installed...
Replaced the Turn Signal switch, and thanx to over-thinking the issue with the brake lights... I had both rear lights blinking whenever the left or right blinkers were used... ![]() ![]() ![]() Seems the old gas, I assumed burned up...didn't. Upon removal of the carb and disassembly, both fuel bowls full of crud... ![]() ![]() So, after work today I re-adjusted the carb and sorted the Turn signal issues and repaired... So now, as Phil Robertson says, "HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!!" ![]() ![]() Here are a couple of pics... Replacing T/S switch... ![]() ![]() Headlights and Parking Lights... ![]() Tail Lights... ![]() Next up, attach some pipe and mufflers, get tags so I can legally put some shakedown miles in... Attend Clem's Bash... ![]() ![]() ![]() Laterz... ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Every day your'e getting closer to the legalized road ready version of your stepper.
I've got mine on the lift and started on the rear brakes. I've got the parts on order. It is in pretty good condition and the it is need of a great deal of attention. The 6 cylinder is kind of growing on me. It is just a plain Jane basic truck.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Well the weekend found me getting tons of stuff done, like the bodywork on the fuel door...
![]() ![]() I also used the existing exhaust to get the Stepper ready for legal street use... ![]() ![]() ![]() The collectors welded on and the pipes installed and I was ready to do a valve adjustment, that's when the fun began, NOT! Pulled a valve cover to find milky oil... ![]() ![]() Instead of adjusting valves, off came the intake and a cast aluminum quadrate intake (Which came with the motor) was bolted in place... tonight the Stepper runs again... ![]() ![]() ![]() Aiming on driving to work soon... still have a couple of jobs that need to be addressed... More to come!
