Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Yesterday I decided to install the lowering springs I traded for...
![]() Quick and easy as compared to removing the originals... ![]() ![]() ...and a comparison pic of the truck with the different springs... top is with the taller ones... ![]() ...the Chevelle springs seemed a bit loose and the CPP springs seem a bit more stout... new Rear shocks are in the forecast... ![]() That's all for this installment... ![]()

The new rear drop looks good! Maybe bring the nose down just a hair now?

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Like the stance. Is the ride quality the same or is it stiffer?

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Hey Bro.
Looks like you are enjoying a little Holy leisure today. Stepper's stance is looking good to me. I've been scrounging parts for the 62 and putting together some old digital camera equipment for use out in the shop. I'm not liking trying to use my phone for documenting my slow progress.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Good to see an update brotha, same here. Life in the way. Hoping for some better weather and truck time this weekend. Time is the problem...and the cold weather. Paint don't like it.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Man, I gotta get me some of them…
Like the update, the ride height looks perfect. Bet its more fun working on the truck when you're not under the gun. Fun is just one of the rewards…. Keep after it bro. |

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Cool little hot wheel.
Do those 2 flat ones go on the dash in the upper corners of the glove box opening? The ones for the glove box door to hit against when its closed?
