I bought a 33 PU in "kit" form. Someone started a restoration by taking it all apart. So I got a trailer load of parts. I have most of the wood for patterns but not all. I can't seem to find a picture of the wood structure in any of my parts books . I don't have a 33 body manual, does it have a picture ? If anyone has pictures of a PU in progress that would be great too. If I had a picture then I could figure out what peices are missing. Thanks for any help.

I have never found an illustration of the wood structure in a '33 or other pickup cab for that matter. It is relatively simple and straight forward. Often you can see where wood pieces were originally by the pattern left on the sheet metal.

Hopefully someone will see this post and offer a few photos of the inside of a '31-'33 cab.

Hey there blue 50 convert, I have a 33 chevy pickup I am currently restoring. I bought a new wood kit from KC Wood a number of years ago and after I assembled it I took a picture of it before and after I put the sheet metal on it. If you send me your e-mail I will forward the two pictures to you, my name is Bruce Hill and my e-mail is nc6917h@aol.com I will look forward to hearing from you soon.
