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

The early stuff isn't as 'standardized' as later stuff, just like most things. Various steering columns (and other things) were used with varying degrees of success. Most common for the vertical columns are Ford F1 steering, and a few were also VW Bus. I'm sure others were also tried.
BTW, the VW Bus stuff is going to be priced out for cheap builds now!

On mine, it's a F1 box with a Chevy arm, ID'ed with help from the spotters here on the HAMB.

 

way ahead of me, rsr!

 

very neat.

I figure some of this stuff will be lost unless someone else searches and the results are found. Here, there are already India AI junk results on the first page, which is becoming more common.
So I try to include the links for future ease of access.

 

Many thanks SRS!

 

I'm not 100% sure but something tells me they used VW Kombi steering boxes, at least they did down here. I may be wrong though, cheers


Looks like I was be a bit slow on my response

 

I think my friend used a box out of a VW bus in his T bucket build in the early 70's.

 

Realpic!!

 

We also used Rack and Pinion units in a push pull, i did and i know a couple others i was involved with. That was back in the 80's and may not be OK now days. JW

 

The R&P push style was used in Uncertain T and in the build Bunnys Garage on YT (down under) is doing, along with others. IMHO it's a much better solution than the R&P out front.
