Thanks, Pasthisprime.
Here's all that info on the Ford I've posted. It has faults, but looks decent and is priced well. You might be able to talk it down. Been listed for 3 weeks.
1925 T-Bucket with built 302, c4 auto. runs and drives. $9,500 obo.
Here's what I see in the pics.
Minimal mismatched gauges, bundle of snakes wiring. Looks like a good shifter, has E-brake should check operation.
Seatback sticks above body. Basic wood plank dash. Radio hole. Basic side upholstery.
Looks like a Ford gas pedal adapted in. Brake pedal should extend below floor and pivot there to master cylinder, since it's not on firewall.
Bit of mismatch on windshield chrome, might be dirt, might be old chrome.
complete, matching wheels and tires, has another body in the background. Shows the seller has experience with these to some degree.
Radiator shell paint does not match the rest. No fancy rad cap in center. Looks like a decent angle to the steering column, but you would need to check your fit. Fuel tank is not custom for the car. Probably 8-10 gallons.
That IS the shiny rear axle arm. Looks like an E Brake cable back there, too.
Drum front brakes, chrome spring and modified front axle. Oversize overflow tank. Make sure it doesn't overheat.
Radiator is a bit narrow for the shell. Nice polished firewall. Spring over axle, which tends to shorten wheelbase and raise front of frame unless other adjustments are done. The spring perch is high in this case, covering the frame and bottom of radiator with spring.
Looks like a good size shop.
I think that's a 1937-41 axle. Not the V860 which is tube.
Could be an aftermarket I-beam too.
The horn facing forward out in the open don't last as long Air pressure, dirt and water all hit the diaphragm.
That might be the tie rod but they should be dead straight, not bowed.
Looks like long arm rear suspension. Unable to see shocks. Just barely can see a transverse leaf spring and mount on the right side. It looks like it's forward of the axle. Can't positively ID the axle. It is sure a 'drop out' center section, but could be Ford 8 or 9 inch, BOP, or Mopar, but don't think it's the latter. I'd guess Buick/Olds?Pontiac.
Unique tail lights. No license plate light.
There looks to be a bit of droop on driver's side, check springs and shocks as always. Also check floor to frame.
No door, does not look like any baffles/mufflers, body channeled height of frame, Mustang in background, probably a Ford guy.
20 inch bed, not 14 inch. Snaps on body suggest having a top at some point. Old material for pattern or top bows too?
Front has split wishbone style arms. Home built headlight stands, ahead of radiator. Blue coating still on rear tire White Letters.
I think that is the shiny rear arm, since there wouldn't be sun under the car. Alt mounted down low on right side.
Windshield has upper pivot at top, appears in good shape. No support rods, which I'm told are a must for a full height windshield.
Some sort of tag or sticker on frame just in front of the body. Always try to confirm the numbers on the car match the title, if the seller has one. Some states don't.
Mechanical fan, HEI distributor, single aftermarket intake and edelbrock 4 bbl, stock engine dipstick, Lokar style trans dipstick,
Appears to have trans cooler in radiator (fitting in bottom tank). Wiring again not super clean. Throttle cable bent at carb mount (will wear).
Breathers in both valve covers. No PCV. Must have electric fuel pump, regulator is between firewall and carb.
Mechanical FP is left front on SBF. Flex upper hose. While old school, I would rather see a molded one that fits right.
Can't really make out steering connections. I assume tie rod low behind, and a long drag link to box.
This style Header is commonly referred to as "roadster". The ones that all come straight out, then down then back are "Classic".
Bare, rusty water pump, Velocity Stack and washable air filter.
