New guy with first bucket

[CyPlainsDrifter]

Greetings all. I have recently acquired my new-to-me, T-Bucket. I have been a hot rodder my entire life with lots of different interests, and always admired the T's. Now in my brand new retirement years I have finally acquired this one. It was built in 1970 and remains unchanged from that build I believe. Same guy owned it for 35 years before I bought it. Has a 425 nailhead for power. I just got it delivered from Cali to my very cold Iowa, so no joy rides yet. No major changes planned other than wider rear wheels/tires and narrower fronts. I already have a substantial collection of 5-slot wheels, so just need to get the new tires.

Welcome to our family Rob! Saw your earlier post on Facebook. Glad you found us! There's a lot to love about your T, given that it's a vintage build (1970's). Buick nailheads and T-buckets seem to go together - ask Tommy Ivo (LOL). And the school-bus steering, tuck-n-roll interior, and brass radiator shell just make the vintage look. It seems to be in good shape. Any plans other than upgrading the tires?
