Ya there was definitely wood frames holding the doors on before I took them off. That wood has been rotted out for many years. My grandfather always told me it was a '35 but I guess that's all I have to go off of? I'm definitely no expert on these trucks though...

Re: 1935 Chevy Pickup??

Sheetmetal is not readily reproduced for these trucks (Rockers, Cab Corners, Patch Panels), unless someone started doing it recently. The floor would have been wood I believe. Looks like a nice solid start though. Good luck with it and keep us posted on your progress.

I see that it also has a 1piece roof - indicating that it might be a later cab. The '35 would have a bolt on roof like the one in tnblazer's post above.
