The new vents will look great with your valve covers (I have something similar)
Absolutely love the new truck!

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...

A long time ago, pre 90's, there used to be Marathon Candy bars sold here, these are the same, only they are sold in the UK and not in the states, made by Cadbury… Caramel and chocolate...

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...

Watching the weather I see it has been hot up your way, but at least at night you still get a cool down… Although we haven't topped the 100 degree mark yet, it has been in the mid 90s with extreme humidity, the kind where when you walk outside you immediately sweat… hard to get motivated unless there is a fan or water and food involved... See pics below

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

Just glad it got there in one piece and that you were able to use it Don!

Looks great after being cleaned up!! And yeah.....not uncommon for me to save old painting paper for shipping.

I think I found an original Harrison core (used) that will fit that heater also. I'll get some pics and run the numbers on it.........
