I have a 1935 chevy 1/2 pickup. However, I do not have a box for the truck and I am having a difficult time finding a used one. What years of chevy boxes will fit this truck or roughly the same size?

A buddy of mine had his box made at a sheet metal shop, made the tail gate from flat sheet and welded on some exhaust tubing for the top and bottom. You just need to locate an original box for measurements. Not sure on the years, need to check Chevy books for wheelbase in those years, may be near the same from 34 to about 38.
Best of luck.

35chev, I know they make bed kits of 37's and I think maybe for yours. There is a place in Moberty Missouri that you can order one. I got mine from there a few years a go and it was right on. Now you can buy direct from them. I honestly can't think of the name right now but I know they are still in business. Some one here will probably know but if no reponse send me an email and I will dig it out.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

The place you refer to is http://www.mackhils.com/mack_products/ They have been in business for a long time making bed parts for old trucks.

1934 to 1936 Chevrolet Pickups all used the same pickup box. The front panel and the tailgate were the same from 1934 to 1938. The replacement boxes have straight sides and don't have the clearance offset in the wheel opening lower area of the box.


34 & 35 trucks are the greatest

354trucker-- the tailgates are interchangeable but the 37 tailgates were "plain" when they came from the factory.

All the tailgates from 1934 to 1938 were plain, no logo's.
