A brief history
 The
Bucket Brigade (TBB) is an open club for T-Bucket enthusiasts of all ages.
The organization was founded in 2000 by Mr. Mike Burress, first President
of The Bucket Brigade.
The Bucket Brigade seeks to promote
the building and showing of these most creative of all
street rods, but mostly we seek to drive them. Scenic bucket runs are our claim to fame, and we invite all
T-Bucket drivers &
fans to participate. It's the most fun you can have with your bucket.
Based in
the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, members come from several States and
Canada, creating a terrific network of friends and fellow T-Bucket enthusiasts
who share ideas, offer assistance, and Run together!
The
Bucket Brigade is known for its fabulous Bucket Runs. Can you imagine an
entire rod run made up of T-Buckets? It's an awesome sight!
Winding through forests, over hills, through towns and parks, along rivers and
anywhere scenic drives can be found. No lawn chairs needed, thank you!
Check out
the various pages in this site. You can find out about upcoming
events, re-live prior bucket runs, confirm whether a particular event is still
scheduled, learn about membership, leave the Board of Directors a message or simply browse
through pictures of member's rides.
T- Buckets are credited with
the very beginning of street rodding, when experimenters would remove all extra
metal from the Ford Model T, improving the power-to-weight ratio
significantly. After WW II, this style was labeled "modified,"
and was raced on the dry lake beds of So. California and Utah.
Today's more modern T-Bucket styling has roots with Norm Grabrowski's creation for
the TV show 77 Sunset Strip, which Ed "Kookie" Burns drove
to the delight of nearly everyone. Shortly after, Andy Brizio built a
number of these Fad T's for other people, and the craze exploded. These
quintessential favorites among rodders and the viewing public are now the
icon for all street rods, and set the standard for street rodding around the
world.
