Thread: '23 T bucket frame dimentions

Tweet

There is actually no "standard" size, especially in the length, as most are designed around how much room you need in the engine room. However, there is sort of a standard width in the front crossmember ,and in the rear crossmember, and I will measure mine tonight to see what those dimensions are, and will post for you.

Wheelbase is a very personal thing and is dictated by the engine (as mentioned above) and how long you want your T to be. Usually, the WB ends up sort or around 100 inches, though.

I have two frames, one is for a small block Chevy, and the other I built to accomodate a 460 Ford. The one for the Ford is a few inches longer because of the additional length of that engine.

PS: As a tip, build a frame out of 2 x 4 lumber first, as it will approximate the size you build out of tubing. Also, you need to have your body bought first, so you can have it to build the frame around.
