What's up all?
Well, this is where I'll be posting as I build my bucket but first a little history behind it. This Bucket has been in my family since the early 2000's. The car was bought just as it sits when I got it. My Step-Dad and mom got into the T-buckets around 1997-98 and are probably most know for the T-Buckets they owned, Repo-T and Liber-T. My step dad bought the C cab because he thought the set up was interesting and had never seen another done this way. He had plans for a full restore but it just never came to be. So the poor C-cab sat for years. It traded hands a few times among his family but the car always came back and sat under a lean-to for the last 5 fives.
So fast forward to this year and now my parents are getting out of the car scene all together. They are selling off most of their cars and hot rods, only keeping a one or two, when one day my step dad gives me a call and asks me to come over. So when I do we get to talking and says to me he's giving the C-cab to me with the only catch is that I keep it in a garage. No problems there!
So time for me to take her home. That was a fun drive.
She still runs strong and drives, just needs a lot of loving which I've already started to give. I do not know the full specs of this Bucket, only it's a 383 with a turbo 350 behind it. I'd love to know the history behind this bucket and who built it, maybe someone here knows this car? Let me know! I'll get pics up when I get 10 posts... ><
