    I have had my tub for sometime and am going to start on it this next jan but I was wondering if anyone could help me identify what it is exactly. I think its a 23 t bucket thats been cut and worked around the sides OR could it be a C cab thats been cut off at the top? I'm gonna title it as a 23 T but just wanting to see if anyone has seen one like this before and it is not a kit it is an all metal tub with original wooden floor and firewall. Any sort of response is apprecitated. It will be powered by a 1972 472ci Cadillac so comments on the build would also be appreciated.

    I won't know one way or the other, but maybe a good profile shot would help put the size into perspective better.

    Same dimentions as a standard 23T fiberglass tub. It mounts on kit frames like Tperformance and Spirit industries, but has like 2 inches added to the left and right because of the lips on the side. See how they push out a little as they come up from the bottom? My chicks grandfather has a kit Tperformance setup same size and everything as his.
