Thread: Low-budget/T-Bucket Pickup

Tweet

Thanks for the help and encouragement guys.

I bought the copy of Chester's book from TBucketPlans.com, and I have read through it several times. I emailed Chester a couple months ago - he is still alive and kicking down in Mexico.

I have also read through a couple of T-Bucket build threads on this forum - Jim Robinson's and Don "ITOLDYOUSO's. I picked up a ton of ideas there also.

Don, Itoldyouso, doesn't post here anymore though I think you can find him on the HAMB.

Yesterday I spent some time out in the garage doing some basic mock ups and finalizing the frame dimensions to fit my body. I am going to make the front of the frame 24 inches wide and the rear of it 27 inches wide. The front of this body is comes channeled 3 inches. Once I figured out where the frame rails will sit, I channeled the rear of the body about 2 inches. I am debating leaving it there.

You're T looks great Mark. I like the wheels and the roll bar. It looks pretty complete, what more needs to be done?

I'm thinking about building a 4 foot long box for mine.
