Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
After a coupe of days of Honeydooz and yard work I finally got out into the shed and finished the Accelerator pedal…
IMG_2456 by ta2don, on Flickr Then cleaned the bolts that bolt the Motor perches to the frame and painted the perches… Small steps... IMG_2453 by ta2don, on Flickr IMG_2455 by ta2don, on Flickr That's all for today… next step is to mount the Engine and Trans and get ready to re-install the cab...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Like I said on my thread , I took mine of the road a year ago . The rate it's going my estimate of two years is looking opptermistic . But who's counting I think the trouble is we all get distracted by other projects . Like me Don just keep going and when it's done it's done

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
One suggestion. If I had my motor perches out of the truck ever again, I would take a step drill and bore the center hole(s) to the next bigger size. I would use a big heavy washer during installation against the bolt head for reinforcement. Having that hole just a tad bigger would make installing the rubber mounts 1000% easier. I've struggled every time I've had to detach or reconnect the rubber mounts and having that extra bit of maneuvering room for the bolt would make the job much easier.

I will do just that because when I first mounted the engine, I was working alone and even though I only stated the first bolt by hand (leaving it severely loose), I still ended up fighting with the other bolt...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Not much to update, Honey-Do's have kept truck time to a serious minimum...
The only accomplishment this weekend was to finally pull the trigger on a wheel trade… A friend of mine wanted the 15's I had, and I needed 18's or bigger in order for the rear wheels to hit in case of a flat vs the u-bolts. The kicker to the deal is that if my friend decides on a different direction for his 94 truck, I get my wheels back and keep the 20's... I posted pics of these a year or so ago but here's a couple of shots of the wheels on my roller... IMG_2720 by ta2don, on Flickr IMG_2722 by ta2don, on Flickr
