Thinken bout building a t-bucket (longish)
I have a extra sbf motor and t5, 8.8 rear, strait axel from 53 ford truck. I manage a small company that make crane assemblys so I have welders/lathe/mill/flat tables/paint booth/extra steel laying around, ect. I purchased frame plans from california custom but haven't recieved yet. One of the workers can do the interior on the cheap. I don't mind going to the local pick and pull. End product would be a low dollar bucket that end the end if I really did not like it I should be into it a few thousand so I could sell/trade or just park, or correct as needed. Any coments, do you guys feel the "blue print" of this project is reasonable, or if you were to do it over again what would you change. Any body use Poli-Form products/bodys. Poli-form is only 2 hours away so if I purchased a body I would save freight cost.
thanks

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
