    I have what I hope is a simple question. How wide is a t bucket vs. 32 Ford roadsters? Is it closer in width to a 27 roadster??

    A T Bucket body is roughly 46" wide at it's widest point. I have no info on a '27 or a '32.

    Your question is not clear- are you talking about the body, rear end, or ??- the average "T Bucket" is a modified car, whereas a '32 roadster could be a stock car or modified. My T Bucket was a f glass body - compared to the average A or B body it was a liitle more narrow at the hip areas.

    Basically I am curious I know my T bucket is about 46" where the back rest of the seat goes curious how much. Wider the seat area is and legroom does this make sense?

    widest seat that fits in a '30 A coupe is 41.5".... 6" up from the floor. B pillars must be 2.75" each plus the gaps between the seats and doors...
     
  7. I built and drove a 26 T roadster for a couple of years. Got a ride in a 32 roadster and it was like stepping into a Cadillac. Much more room.

    I don't think the widths are that drastic but the legroom is totally different. The '32 coupe is as below. Roadster shows as similar.
