Vehicle Description
STK 2186 1923 Ford Bucket-T This '23 Bucket-T was built in 2015
using quality parts and superb craftsmanship. The style is
distinctly old-school, but mechanically it is a modern work-of-art.
Many of the new body/chassis/suspension components appear to have
been manufactured by Speedway Motors Inc., Lincoln, NE - rodding
specialists for over 60 years. The frame assembly has a dropped
front axle with a transverse leaf spring/radius-rod suspension.
Steering requirements are managed by a Speedway Vega Cross Steering
box and braking comes from front discs and rear drums. The rear
suspension is trailing-arm with coil-over shocks. Gloss black
Wheelsmith Steelies sport nice wide radials. The hot rod is powered
by a 350ci Chevy small-block with all the right upgrades including
a mild cam, Edelbrock Performer intake, 600CFM Holley and full tube
headers with side pipes. Behind the powerful engine is a 350 Turbo
automatic and 8 Ford rear with 2.77:1 gears. The fiberglass
channeled pick-up body with 20 bed (w/stainless fuel tank) was
carefully prepared and then shot with old-school gray primer,
providing the distinctive 'no-shine' finish that is absolutely
period-correct. There is no top, no fenders, no hood, and no need
for any. A stainless steel fuel tank is in the pick-up bed and a
door on the passenger side provides easy access to an interior that
can best be described as perfectly basic - alloy padded bucket
seats, retro floor-shift, custom cup holder and a three-spoke
steering wheel (w/o airbag). A nice classic gauge package finishes
the driver's space. If you haven't figured it out yet, we love this
hot rod. It is everything a modern 'old-school' Bucket-T should be
and it is built right. Call 800-650-1055 or visit
