Thread: Low-budget/T-Bucket Pickup

Tweet

In 1990, a fellow named Chester Greenhalgh wrote a book about building a T-Bucket on a budget. I bought one of the books at that time, for about 20 bucks. Since that time, the book has developed quite a cult following and the price has gone haywire on them. Here's an offering from Amazon, used, for $79.49 plus shipping.

Chester hit a home run when he wrote this book, showing the rest of us how to build a T at home for something like 3 or 4 thousand dollars, using commonly available stuff that other folks would overlook.

Here's an offering from a fellow who has taken Chester's ideas and put his own ideas with them, into a book that he has written that's far more affordable than Chester's book.....This is where I would start.....

Back in the early 60's, Car Craft magazine published a set of plans for building a T-Bucket. I have seen some of the cars built through the years, but never tried to build one myself.
