I want to find a 32-34 chevy truck body to pull off a t-bucket look, hood/fenderless etc for my dad.
why are all death traps, steering?

Beagle has the right idea do something different maybe wide front and back tires and a v6 small v8 with a turbo make a fun corner carving machine!GF:Did you motor blow up?

Some I like, some I really don't like. I've driven one that looked really bitchin but was put together by a hack and down right scary about 40 mph. I've driven a former show version with a high top roof and a little 302 sbf 3x2 setup. It was fun.BS'er formally known as Rebeldryver

I don't love 'em or hate 'em. I've seen some that are cool and some that look like a carnival ride. I'd probably build a crazy Meyers Manx before I'd build a T-bucket, but that's just me.

no side impact protection, the ones with motorcycle front tires don't like to stop or turn all that much, gas tank in back saying "HIT ME"... great big rear meats will float on a puddle of dog pee, original geometry and whole car was designed to run about 40 mph max because there weren't any roads at the time. Keep in mind it was designed around a 20 hp four cylinder.Originally posted by kyhunter89 View Post

Are most not made from kits? shouldn't someone in the last 70 years improved upon the brakes and steering design.Si vis pacem, para bellumComment

Depends on how "traditional" you want to be. Solid axles, hair pins, and drum brakes made out of new parts still suck. The steering - well, have a look.
discs are damn near pointless with those tires and the front end is supposed to do most of the braking.
I want it to be more like this but using a t-bucket's open front end and the truck bed -

I wonder if an IRS would stay together with it not weighing all that much - and wondering about how jacked up a coilover setup IFS would lookFlying south, with a flock of bird dogs.Comment
