Sub-frame wood

[Ken B]

I am making a bit of progress with my goal of building a 1930 C-Cab panel delivery. Does anyone know where I could buy a set of plans for this body or even just the sub-frame wood?

I am working on a Cabriolet and recently went to Highland Hardwoods in Brentwood, NH. I purchased 1 3/4 in. x 8 in x 8 ft. white oak. I will be making the subframe rails out of one piece. Not cheap but very good quality. The wood is milled and straight. They do have a web site on the internet. Ed

As I recall Ford did not make the sill wood out of one piece.

They were laminated which makes a more stable wood.

I do have access to the raw wood pieces locally. But, it is the measurements of these pieces and the whole sub-frame that I could use.
