Anyone out there know what the dementions are for a 23 T bucket frame? I'm new at this, so any advice out there would be great. All I have is the T- body, and the front suspention, and the rearend out of a 73 Jag. It all came as a package deal. Should I go with a straight axel and a reguler rear end? I plan to power this with a little small block 283 & Turbo 350. any one know any one thats used Jag components on a street rod? Larry
It could be whatever you weld it to be, but if memory serves, the last one I welded up was 26" wide with 2x4 and .188 wall box tube. As far as wheel base goes, it all depends on how you want to set up your frontend, so you can make it as long or short as you wish. If it is a '23 T then you will want a wheel base of about 103".
Larry- The best advice I can give you is get a set of plans from California Custom Roadsters in Chino. Talk to a lady named Diane Keiffer and have her send you a set. Has all the information you need in there to biuild your chassis. Good Luck! T buckets Rule!!
Thanks for the information. The T-buckets in your message, Are those yours? Very Nice!! All I have here is the body & the front & rear suspention out of a 73 Jag. I have been on the internet,trying to find some informaton, on how to put this thing together, but haven't found much. I'm learning what the term, starting from scratch really means. I've been walking around my shop scratching my head and my ass, trying to figure out the best way to go about this. Again, thanks for the information. and your right. T-BUCKETS RULE!! Thanks Larry Parsons
