Hot Rods How about some love for the T-Bucket?

I would guess it has what I think they call "saddle tanks". A pair of them. They fit between the drive shaft and the frame rails.

Those poor drag slicks are in for a beating.

 

i believe you're right. i think years ago i saw a picture of the gas tank layout on this or another one like it with a big block mopar; had quarter epileptic springs too.

 

What about where Henry put it?

 

I do remember this car in the magazines, or one like it, in a Tex Smith book maybe?
it had saddle tanks.

 

Ai generated pic! My son said it took 10 tries of his inputs for Ai to arrive at this image.

 

Make that 3, if you count the t- bucket!

 

Just as well left the shocks off that one, huh?

Someone explain to me the rod(?) on the left side. Is that what locates the rearend laterally?

 

do you mean the semi-elliptical spring?

 

Sort of a t-bucket? For sure very cool!

 

Yep, I was on my phone. Now that I enlarge the picture I see what it is.

 

nice!

 

wild!

 

I love this thread

@Royalshifter Between this and the rooftop shot, I take it that beauty is still yours?
