Details
It doesn’t get any simpler than this! Our most basic T-bucket frame is engineered for a simple and economical coil spring rear suspension with traditional-style radius rods. The front suspension is our time-tested transverse-leaf, spring-behind-axle setup with hairpin-style radius rods. Designed for the do-it-yourselfer, this frame has no front shock mounts – you can fabricate your own or choose from those offered by Speedway!
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

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.
