The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk wood plans for '35 chev truck

does anyone know where to get plans for the wood support on a 35 chevy pickup.....I have checked a supplier and was astounded by price for cut wood, also a 6 mo backlog....any help would be appreciated.......thanks, pat

come on stovebolters, help an old man out if you can.......Pat

All I know about wood is it don't weld very good.

Do you have the original piece or pieces? They should be good templates.

If you have what's left of the original parts, or enough to make a pattern, any woodworking shop can fab them. If not, and nobody comes forward with a better idea, you will have to make a cardboard template for the rough shape, have it cut, then do a lot of fitting (or pay someone to do the same.) And, cletis, last time I tried to weld wood, I burned the heck out of it!

503pat503, there is a couple places that produces wood kits for various vehicles. I have found out it is not cheap!! It seem to me that one of the places was actually in Kansas...somewhere.

Hang tight. Someone will remember the site....or maybe do a search here and it'll show up....or look in the Links section.

1/2 ton kits
3/4 ton kits
1 ton kits
These kits come in Pine or Oak lumber.

He's talking about the wood supports for the sheetmetal, not the bed wood.

thanks for all the good advice.......wish I had more money......Pat

I have a '34 truck that needs wood in it and i called kc wood and they aren't very friendly that's for sure. On top of that their wood kits are over 3400.00 for the complete cab doors and all. So i did another search and found a man named Jim at jim@autowood.net. Super nice guy to talk to and his rates are more reasonable, i will be using him for my restoration project. Check him out!

I checked with gm heritage center, they said there was known tech drawings of wood for this truck.Classic Wood Manufacturing in Greensboro NC.has wood for this truck.I'm a carpenter by trade,but didn't want to take the time to make the wood myself, it was worth the money to pay them.
