    My all steel T bucket build

     



    You know most of the time you see a T Bucket they are all jacked up in the back chromed out, and have motorcycle wheels in the front, with a steering wheel that is vertical , and they are not very comfortable. I wanted to build a T Bucket, but not the norm . I started this in January, and am getting close, but still have a ways to go.

    Like I said, it is an all steel Ford Model T , with a few mods. I wanted a truck ,so to speak, but not the tiny beds they normally put on these rigs. The only bed I had was from a 50's Chevy, so that is what got used. It was shortened and narrowed to fit my project, and made into a unibody design. If you look real close , you can see where I graphed the rear fenders from the Chevy truck bed to the body . They were a perfect match and the curves fit just right.

    Very cool little bucket. Reminds me of that one on the TV commercial, not the one with the rats but the one on another commercial.

    I just saw the commercial again the other night, it is for Jack Daniels. They talk about how we build things in America and they show a neat little rpu in the ad.
