Actually, your pickup truck consists of a pickup body and a cab. The cab roof wood is what you are looking for. Most likely your cab is a closed cab which is type 82-A. Roof wood parts numbers are listed in the Ford Body Parts list as roof front rail, rear rail, side RH rail, side LH rail, and roof ribs.

Ronn - To be able to order drawings of the parts (and thus get dimensions), you need to have the Ford part names as indicated above. Hopefully you can search the MAFFI data base using the part names and thus get the part ids. With that information, drawings can be ordered via the Benson Ford Research Center.


FYI - The cost of ordering Ford drawings is expensive (I think $30 each). For only one set of 82-A top wood, it would be cost effective to order a kit from a shop currently making these parts.

I understand Neil- interested in cutting my own wood.


kit is 475. and not the point in this case.........

Note that the ‘29 CCPU in my avatar has been stretched 6-1/2” thus I had to make all of my roof wood from scratch. Bought individual pieces from Bert’s in Denver and made my own pieces using white oak. Not all that difficult.
