Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

My weekend started off with replacing a toilet fill valve
and continued with my Laptop going on vacation... well, the Hard drive decided it was tired and during an upload of a new OS the drive pulled an Elvis, yes folks it has left the building, er case or whatever the appropriate term is...

Time for some Truck time therapy...

Bear with me as I outline my therapy session with pics...

I really didn't accomplish much in the way of real progress on the truck, I checked out the new to me driveshaft, it is gonna need about an inch and a half removed... Decided on the location for the 56 Chevy Hood Ornament... Since my plans for paint call for a Faux-tina outcome, the pitted Hood Ornament is going to retain it's character via the pitting...started some frame cleaning in preparing for the frame paint... found a second VIN punched on the left frame rail, where it will be located under the cab, along with the one stamped in near the front crossmember on the same rail, forgot to snap a pic...

The heat and humidity slowed me brain processes down, maybe I need to replace my hard drive?

Recently I had a friend traded me a Blue Point Toolbox and a bunch of Blue Point Sockets... So, Clean and inventory the sockets, repair the bottom drawer of the cart, and here we are...
