How's it goin? New here. Im 20, from Oklahoma. I signed up so I can hopefully learn about some ole t-buckets as I plan on undertaking building one myself. Currently Im hunting down the right chassis and all, hopefully I can get started soon. The old buckets of yesteryear have to be the coolest of cool rods and have had my imagination forever. So I hope we can all have fun, learn a little, and build a bucket!

Hi Okie rod. Im 20, and from NY. Bit of a difference, but this is a cool place to learn what you want. Remember, Chevy motors fit everything!

Yeah. Might have to do somethin really weird and put a turbocharged 2.3L ford on mine.....hahahahaha.

Street's,

Thanks for the links, Im gonna check those out right now.

I helped a buddy put a Volvo B230 engine in his 'bucket. I fabricated an intake manifold for a set of Weber DCOE's and built a nice stainless header for it. It looks cool, is reliable, and has lots of torque for a banger.

Hey Okie, Welsome aboard CHR.
Buckets old style, COOL , drop by your local newsstand and check out a magaqine , The Rodders Journal, it's pricey but you'll see lots of ideas on old school rods. Real HOT RODs as they were then, it may help you in your Vision, either way , Good Luck, and as drg84 said this is a great place for info, lota guys been round the block several times and can shed alotta light in your project, Just Ask.

What's OKC mean? Edmond? Midwest City? The Village? Moore? Bethany? Downtown? Gee, there are lots of places up there. I used to live in Del City, went to grade school, junior high, and one year of high school at DCHS. Lived in Warr Acres for a couple of years in the late 70s, and in Midwest City in the early to mid 80s. I did some serious street racing over in Warr Acres and NW OKC in the late 70s with my Nova SS. Anyway, it's always neat to meet someone from Oklahoma, we're such hicks to the rest of the country. Most people think we don't have cars here, just horses and teepees. Seriously, I've had a couple of smart, college educated scientist-types from Massachusetts ask me if we still had people living in teepees out in Oklahoma. After all wasn't it still Indian Territory? I told them we had been a state since 1907, and I lived in a brick house with airconditioning. I live in Ada now, if you know where that is. If not, I'm about 80 miles southeast of Norman, kinda out in the country. I don't know anything about T-Buckets, but I'm a big-time hotrodder. Glad to know you.

Oklahoma? Didn't OU steal its fight song from Yale and North Carolina?

Seriously, the T-bucket nationals not too far from you: Mountain Home, AR / July 21 - 23, 2005
