I had to search, but I bought that issue as well. Too much good stuff to pass up owning.

Rod and Custom had an excellent T bucket issue in 73 or 74.Sorry I can't remember the month but it is worth tracking down if you are into T buckets.

Also, CC ran a series with plans for building a bucket from scratch in the early sixties, starting with welding up the frame. I think it was by Scritchfield...worth getting, a plain vanilla bucket build generally similar to the basic kits offered at the time.
