At the Crazy T’s 2009 car show, this green T-Bucket was interesting for a number of reasons. If you’ll note the front end, it’s using a steering dampener and has one of the largest spacer blocks I’ve seen between the spring perch and front spring. Also, you just don’t see too many buckets with quarter elliptics, and it’s kind of hard to but this one has them on the rear, along with some beefed up traction bars. Some really nice pinstriping on this bucket, along with an interesting support for the vertical steering column.
This is another one of those T-Buckets where I have two separate videos. If you look closely at the video below you’ll note a pretty unique bell crank arrangement on the frame to properly locate the Pittman arm.
If you know or are the owner of this T-Bucket please post a comment so that proper credit for this nice T-Bucket can be claimed.
TBucketPlans.com originated in 2005 as a personal blog extolling the virtues of T-Buckets. In 2009 I blogged about Chester Greenhalgh, the "how to" genius who wrote the legendary, out-of-print “How to Build a T-Bucket Roadster for Under $3000”. That led to a friendship with Chester and our partnership in marketing the updated eBook version of his T-Bucket building bible. The T-Bucket fire burns stronger and stronger.

When a blown small block Chevy with dual quads just isn't quite enough for your T-Bucket, why not add some nitrous? And, mount the bottle above the front suspension for good effect.
I will bet the reason for the bell crank is to assure it turns the correct direction, after using the available steering box.
