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

Morning Don,

Great move on the trade.

One thing I have always said, is that there is no emotion attached to my toys.

Want them? Swop, trade, pay and they are yours.

I like it so far.

Rat Wrecker sounds like a good thing too.

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

So yesterday while visiting with a friend at the car show, he asked how the rat project was coming along… I explained that I was at a standstill while working on the 65… Long story short, he's now the owner of the 47 Rat project and I'm the owner of this…

72 LWB 350/TH350 No Power anything, and needing some work, but a running and driving truck...

His plans are to build a Rat Wrecker…
as for the 72… will start a build thread in that area when I figure out what the plans are...

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

That looks like a possible quick flip. Or a good weekend hauler.
Score!

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

Good swop Don and being a driver it's a win win . I guess you are just going to just flip it . Or are we going to Clem's in it if the stepper isn't finished ?

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

Hottest day of the year so far and I mounted a Tach in the Right side of my Gauge Cluster…

IMG_3609 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

Using the extra parts I picked up recently I started cutting…
IMG_3612 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

Tach with original blank surround…
IMG_3615 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

Mounted in the Cluster...
IMG_3616 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr
IMG_3617 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

Sits a tad deep, but will be readable nonetheless...

Just gotta polish up my other original lens that I picked up recently, it's in better shape than this one…

I also picked up another bench seat that will either end up in the 65 or the 72 I just traded for…
The seat was free from a friend that has had it in a shed for a handful of years…
IMG_3618 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

Here's the seat after the top layer od dirt, dust & gunk cleaned… Still a ways to go with the cleaning,,,
IMG_3614 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

Here's a detail shot of the pattern in the Seat vinyl…
IMG_3607 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

til later...

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

Not much to update… Work has been crazy and the wife and I are trying to put the house back together after getting her daughter and grandkids moved out…

I had recently posted a pic of the resistor with in the back of my heater diverter box which came out in 2 pieces when I pulled the box from the cab… 1963c-10 offered me one and it arrived...
This past Tuesday I received a box from Jon aka 1963c-10… he had a 65 heater assy that he didn't need, so he was kind enough to box it up and send my way… Lots of great people out here, Thanks again Jon…

Here's a couple of pics…
The resistor is in one piece...

I dig the paper with his truck's color used in packing…

Cab going on soon...
