Default 1929 A closed cab pickup top wood dimensions

Has anyone got plans or dimensions of the 1929 ford closed cab pickup top wood.
I would buy a kit but will cost $1200 australian to get it. I can make myself from aussie hardwood.

Thanks

Sadly for semi-accomplished woodworkers such as myself, the top wood plan HAS NOT made it to "open source."

And I agree. Pricing of what amounts to a handful of hardwood sticks is a little outa sight.

This is too bad. My 29 CC pickup has top wood done by the former owner and he obviously worked to the wood he removed - but in PINE. Which has served well for the 40 years I've owned the truck - but is not original. Were it maple it would please me.

Were it possible, someone could send me at my cost their removed original wood and I would engineer a top wood diagram using my cab as the go-no go gauge?

It would benefit the hobby - but perhaps not the vendors.

I asked the same question this past year, and it is a pain to get the info. the drawings
cost wasnt worth it to me, so I built my own top from just looking at kits for sale on ebay.

really wasnt difficult and came out swell- though I wont be getting into any judging.
I was happy with the results and only took about 6 hrs to build from scratch.
