Whats the difference?

I'm wondering what difference, if any, there is when building a frame for a bucket or for a T with a roof?

I'm planning on using a fibreglass tub, but if I came across a metal body at the right price.... I'll be collecting all the bits to get the frame together so I am just wondering if the frame for a bucket will be the same for a coupe or roadster style T body.

Thanks

Sharp21, I think most people would agree with me that you should have your body on hand before you fab the chassis. In my case I'm building a C-Cab, the chassis is the same design as a 23 T with the exception that the rails are extended behind the kick.....JMO....Ron (ruggs)
 
Pretty sure there is NO difference.


Thats what I thought but I wanted to make sure.

I WILL have the body on hand before building the frame. I guess a better question would be; can I still assemble all of the parts prior to building the frame & still have it all work no matter which body I build? Seems that I can

You could buy your steel, axle and such to have it on hand but if your not sure about your selection I would suggest that you call people like Ron Pope (RPM) or Jim at Wintec to make sure all of the parts are compatable...Ron (ruggs)
