Finally drug it home, now what?

[alchevy]

I looked and found the few pictures I had of "C" cabs and they were wooden.

Yeah, a t bucket frame, and maybe a small stake bed behind to keep the theme of the C cab.  No fenders, bigs and littles, and not much else.

These always make a cool ride IMO.

Don

Thats what I'm thinking, something bare bones, no frills.
gotta have big 'n littles

maybe a blower too

sprint car style headers

got the original 2-piece windshield, runningboards, and a couple fenders to boot

stake bed is definatley an option.
or, Speedway has a 20" fiberglas bed for their T-bucket.


keep the idears commin'

Combination stakebody/displaycase/pegboard bed for the back. Bear with me, I'll explain why... :?

The stakebody can hold large screw in type hooks for hanging lawn chairs on.
The pegboard can hold different assortments of tie-down straps for cars being transported in trailers, and can also hold rolls of different vinyl mark-off tapes like "caution", "keep out" or "power parking only".
The display cases can hold many types of gold chains in various lengths and qualities.

Stock up and hit the big shows. You'll sell enough to pay for the parts you need to really fix it up...  

Otherwise, a Munster coach with brahma bull horns on the radiator, and the sprint car headers that are turned up just behind the cab into chrome stacks just above the roof.

I like your thought process

you are now an Honorary Member of "Team Smart"

dunno yet, 'bout the only thing I have decided is..........flat black paint with either flames or scallops.   or maybe a nice piece of "yard art" :?

Yes Debb, there are a few pieces missing, hopefully I can pick some up at he swap meet this weekend.

Since I didn't have anything better to do, I went and got that 1917
C-Cab today.

gonna take a little work, but I have time and imagination  

now I gotta figger out a frame to set it on :?:

maybe one of the Speedway T-bucket frames

I'm open for suggestions / ideas  :?

Vance

Vance,  You could build a tow truck like the one I saw at the t bucket nationals only use your c- cab and put it on air ride then you could come to the rescue to us rodders in distress.  Just a thought,

There's a T-bucket around the South that comes to several events I go to that is similar, but different. Instead of having a wrecker bed on the back, it has a cage for dragons on it. It's called the Dragon Wagon.
AL
You could use steel instead of wood to "cage" your dragons.

Ok guys both them t buckets are just wrong.
Now if you had one a little longer with a stake bed and racks to hold the sheep.......
