    not me or Dad, I don't have a clue who they were. I was in the Navy and probably on Guam when this was taken.

    Cool old bucket. I'm not used to fat tires on the front of a T. I kinda like the looks of that style and it gave me some new ideas!!!

    cool. I hope those front tires cam off another car. dude would have to be pretty lame to rub the curb enough to do that much damage in a T.

    looks like somebody did some bad street parking from time to time...lot of curb-scrubbing on that LF tire. That's a good-looking T-bucket - very traditional. I can recall the fatty tires in front fad, but I never cared for them too much.
     
  14. He must have let your mom drive it a little, looking at the tire scrub:)

    Two thumbs up, I dig the old wide-weenies all around t-buckets, especially those with slots. I know we aren't supposed to. Does need brakes though.

    Fronts might have come off of the back of another car that had an air shock failure, exact same Goodyear Polyglas tires my bro had on his Maverick Grabber! White slices in the same spot!
