Hi,
I just picked up this 23 T with most of the attributes and price I have been looking for for many years. It has an original steel frame with functional door, channeled, and other traditional features like many other T's. It's a runner and not a full on show car. It is also a good base for me to work from and personalize. Runs down the road at 70 a little bumpy but no death wobble. Late 70's basic mild cam 350 4 bolt, TH 350 auto, discs in front drum in the rear, and 10 bolt 308 rear end. A bit of a struggle to fit comfortably but some easy fixes have resolved that.. When I get a chance I'll update my profile and figure out how to post pictures. This appears to be a great forum to get help and advice when I need it.
 
Welcome from New Mexico.....Sounds like a Great little car...….
 
Hi there, and welcome from St Louis. Your drivetrain is identical to mine (even the rear end and gearing), and I find it very fun and quick for a street rod. Look forward to more pics!

It won't let me reply till I have 10 responses either. Nice to hear there are a few like mine. I got quite a list of things to do to it.
 
Sorry, not accepting anymore people from Minnesota..... HA, kidding, welcome from South Florida!
 
I got it out for a ride tonight as cold weather will be here soon. With such tall gears it is oddly fast and manageable, bombs down the road at 70 no problem. This T-Bucket has the traditional friction disc "shocks".. Only a few more comments and I will post some pictures.
 
How about those Vikings? They earned that loss! Really predictable, good thing I am originally from California and like other teams. Viking continue the massive sucking sound they will never get past. GO Packers !
Oh I was able to install a 2 inch extension to raise the steering wheel so my knee doesn't rub the steering wheel. Now I can can feel the little bit of bump steer. Man this thing has some light steering. Thanks!
