i have the chance to buy a 1932 chevy truck with flatbed and it is complete all the windows latchs wheels and bed pieces. The only problem is the wood frame for the cab and door is BAD is there any place when you can buy a wood kit for these old trucks or somewhere that dimesions for the cab can be found. Thanks alot

Rusty I think I had a chance to buy that same truck, except the hood ornament was gone too when I saw it...


1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

If it's a decent price..I'd go for it. I have a 34 Chevy coupe that needed most of the wood replaced. The doorposts and doors are a little tricky but it's not impossible to make it yourself. I took what was left of the original wood and used it for templates to create the door posts and door wood . Do you plan to restore it or make it a street rod/driver? If you are not gung ho about the original wood, most of the structure can be braced with steel.

If it's cheap, i'd absolutely buy it and figure out how i was going to make it work later!

Sweet old Chevys are alot like real estate.. they just ain't making it anymore.. so get what you can while you can!


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

Twins too where are you. I have a friend that has done dozens of Chevy wood replacements, has even built from scratch a woody station wagon. It thkes about $175.oo worth of wood and a few hours to do. I have a 1932 Chevy pickup and the wood for it was easy. I think the truck has the same cab. He is in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles.
