    Not really applicable to this thread but close. There is one sitting and rotting in this photo I took on Hwy 97 in OR. I believe it says White on the radiator. DSC08282.JPG

    Google Richard A. Currier's Horseless Carriage Co. He builds all sorts of "T" bodies such as C cabs and Depot Hacks. At the National Woodie Club's East Coast Nationals in 2019 we visited his shop, he does beautiful work.

    The majority of them were built in the early = Mid 70's. Andy's C cab and several others were at the 73 Street Rod Nationals in Tulsa and yes they were full on street rods almost all with wild paint of the day.

    Still it is like any other early body style you might use for your hot rod, It isn't the body that makes it traditonal or Hamb Friendly it is what you do with it and what you use on it.

    That C cab panel body that my buddy built that I had in my garage and should have used on my T bucket frame back in the 70's didn't have doors on it and having ridden as a p***enger in it a few times before he took the body off to put the 27 body on the frame you flat want doors on one. Going on a freeway onramp with a long curve at 60 will scare the snot and a few other things out of a p***enger.
