I am starting restoration of a 1930 Roadster Delivery Pickup, and need both the drivers side and passenger side doors. Does anyone have information about what doors will fit? In looking at photos, it looks like 1929 and 1930 Roadster doors are the same, but I am not 100% sure. I would love to have some kind of reference information to help determine what doors I should be looking for so I know what I should include in any ads I might post on the VCCA Classifieds. If anyone has doors, I would be interested in talking with them. I am also looking for a headlight tie bar, top bows, and choke cable. Thanks.

The doors on all three years 1930, 1931 & 1932 Roadster Pickups are the same as 1929, 1930 & 1931 Roadsters and Phaeton (front). The trim is different for the trucks compared to the passenger models.

Thanks for the info Chipper. It will be extremely helpful when I post an ad for the doors. I appreciate the help.

The vehicle is pretty much there. The only parts missing are a spare wheel, doors, top bows, headlight tie bar, choke cable (inside cable & knob) and horn. I have the serial number, but not at my finger tips. Will post at a future date. Is the photo that you include with your post a photo of your vehicle?

Does anyone know if the doors to the US pick ups were the same as the ones used in the assembly factories, f.ex in Copenhagen?
I have heard that the Copenhagen utilities were missing the cab, bed and as for trucks: the bumper, but they had fenders mounted or enclosed when leaving for Norway. That should lead to that the doors also were made by the local coach builders???

Looks like the entire body behind the cowl is fabricated in Europe. It is not US cab and body.
