The Ford Barn - View Single Post - question on wood top kit cross-compatibility

What top wood parts from a car kit will also fit a '30-31pickup top?

Are the header and bows the same? What about the wood piece above the doors....same as a Tudor?

I ask because I may have located wood patterns for a sedan, but cannot find wood patterns for my 31 closed cab pickup. Would like to make my own wood kit (or most of it, where possible!). I have great woodworking tools and plenty of experience. Very little of my pickup's top is good enough to trace my own patterns.

PS I have searched this topic until my eyes burn. If I missed something already covered, forgive me.
