Nostalgia 1923 T-Bucket Frame Kit w/ Standard Body/Bed, Channeled Floor

The Nostalgia T frame is engineered to provide the ultimate in economy and ease of assembly. It features the same spring-behind-axle front suspension as the Budget T, but includes front shock/headlight mounts. The coilover rear suspension uses traditional-style radius rods and a panhard bar, with all necessary mounts welded in place. If youre looking for an affordable, well-engineered T-bucket chassis requiring only basic mechanical skills to assemble, the Nostalgia T is for you!

Shown with optional rearend and engine mounts installed. This part number does not include a rear axle housing or engine/transmission mounts (as pictured). If you wish to add these items to your chassis, simply purchase these items along with your frame kit.

Engine / Transmission Crossmember options available:

Part# 715500 - Small Block Chevy and TH350 Auto Trans Mount Option For T Frame Kit

• This T frame kit option includes tubular engine and transmission crossmembers welded into a '23 or '27 T-Bucket frame. Will accept S/B Chevy engine and TH-350 or TH-400 transmissions.

Part# 715600 - Small Block Ford and C4 Auto Trans Mount Option for T Frame Kit

• This T-frame option will include tubular engine and transmission crossmembers welded into your '23 or '27 T-Bucket chassis. Will accept S/B Ford engine and C-4 transmission only.
• Due to clearance issue with the Vega steering box, you will need to either remote mount the oil filter or make use of the 90 degree oil filter adaptor # 910-6880.

Note: When ordering either of these options with a T-Bucket frame kit, the frame will be shipped with these crossmembers welded to it.  As such, this engine/transmission crossmember option must be ordered with a T frame kit.   This is not available separate of a T frame kit.

All of our T kits are also available with chrome suspension. This option includes chrome plated: front and rear hairpins, rear coilovers, front axle, front leaf spring, front shocks, steering arms, tie rod, drag link, and related hardware.
