Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present a 1926 Ford T-Bucket. Few cars capture the spirit of traditional American hot rodding quite like a T-Bucket. Inspired by the early Ford Model T and transformed by generations of hot rod builders, the T-Bucket formula is all about a lightweight body, open-air driving, V8 power, and a personality that stands out wherever it goes.
This 1926 Ford T-Bucket combines classic T-Bucket styling with a small-block Chevrolet V8 and a collection of documented performance and supporting components. Under the hood is a 350 CID V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The engine is backed by documented build and parts records, which include a Rattler camshaft, small-block Chevrolet mechanical fuel pump, Holley 4-barrel throttle, AC Delco spark plugs, intake and valve cover gaskets, timing cover gasket, and other engine service components.
Fuel-system components documented include 6AN fittings, swivel fittings, braided nylon fuel hose, a fuel filter, carburetor fuel inlet, and stainless-steel hose clamps. The electrical and cooling systems have also received attention, with records showing a Powermaster 100-amp alternator, battery disconnect mount, two-post master kill switch, heavy-duty 2/0-gauge battery cables, and terminal covers. Cooling parts include 45-degree and 90-degree silicone radiator hoses along with coolant. The build records also mention break-in oil and a harmonic balancer puller.
Additional documented components include an aluminum fuel cell kit, cast aluminum battery box, and hardware from Speedway Motors and JEGS Racing. The paperwork and receipts provide an extensive trail of parts purchased, offering insight into the build process.
With its 350 CID V8, 3-speed automatic transmission, open T-Bucket styling, and a documented collection of performance, fuel, electrical, and cooling components, this 1926 Ford T-Bucket embodies hot rodding at its best. It is compact, V8-powered, vintage in appearance, and built to turn heads. This hot rod makes an entrance before the engine even fires.
