Default Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project

Vanspeed...Between the toeboard and just in front of the seat riser was wood.
On the frame question, the passenger car frames and pickup frames from 35-37 had the holes tapped to mount either the pickup or passenger car bodies and sheetmetal so the 35 pickup sheetmetal and cab will pretty much be just a bolt on using the 35-37 passenger or pickup frames. There are differences in terms of the center crossmember due to the different brake systems between 35/6 and 37 and the shocks do not mount the same way for the 3 years, the cabs and sheetmetal can be mounted. Since you have the original 35 frame, if you use a 38-41 frame, figuring out where to drill holes to mount the 35 cab and sheetmetal gets a whole lot easier. The radiator mount on the 35 was a single hole and there are two holes on the 36 and 37 frames and you have to use the right hole.
