I am wanting to build a bucket soon and have a design in my head of what I want/like (which will most likely be either a 40's era or 50's era style). I am looking at bodies and here is my ideas. I'd love to use a T bucket body from Speedway or (now I see) Spirit and then make or find a long bed and make a RPU like deal out of it if possible with a low cut fold up and down top. Here is the snag... I want the body to be stretched about 5 or 6 inches and no doors but I do not like the outline of the doors. I was thinking about buying the Speedways or Spirit body and just deal with no stretch but fill in from the inside the door lines and then sand the outside to make them smooth. Would something like this work? What would you guys recommend for something like this?
I do not have to have a RPU, I may just run a tank over the rear end and leave it alone, either way. I want this thing to sit low as well so keep this in mind. Low meaning like Don's T bucket (donsrods).
Thanks a lot for any info!
