My T-Bucket nterior mock up

[LarryH]

Been working trying to get the T-Bucket back together. I finally got it painted (flat black Dupli-Color rattle can) today then started mocking up the interior. The first pic is the old interior.

Sweet!!

Kinda sorry to see that knarly piece of wood go, but I sure like the gauge cluster now. That paint musta cost a fortune!

That paint musta cost a fortune!

Yeah it was pretty expensive. Four cans at $4.99 each gets a little expensive. Now i'll have to skip lunch for the rest of the month to pay for it.

I'm still not sure if i like the shifter though.

lookin real good there. What are those seats out of?

I like everything but the shifter, but I always have disliked that type of automatic shifter. It is hard to find one I like .

What are those seats out of?

They're second row seats out of an early 90's Pontiac Trans Van.

I like everything but the shifter.

I'm still not sure about it myself. But it's hard to find a decent small shifter for a Powerglide.

The original dash reminds me of the Wabbits Wood Works dashes from the late 70's/Early 80's. Anyone else remember those?

I like what you ended up with so much better.

I've always liked wood dashes and flat style dashes in T-Buckets. I just decided on a flat dash this time around. I like it much better than the wood one. Here's a pic of the steering wheel i bought at a swap meet and refinished about 12 years ago and put on my '71 Cheyenne. When i sold the truck i kept the wheel with the idea of someday putting it in a T-Bucket. I also cut the steering column down 4".

Now i just need to find a turn signal setup that doesn't look like it belongs on an 18 wheeler.
