Thread: 35 Chevy pickup wooden door frames

Tweet

By sub frame I imagine you mean the actual frame? No.....full frame. If you mean wood in the floor between the seat base and the firewall...Yes. Mine was floppy as heck when I got it. I got rid of it in favor of a steel floor. I'm sure they were fine in theyre factory form and probably would last better on todays roads....and we arent going to abuse them on the dirt roads they were driven on back in the day. I live in a rural part of Arkansas. You know....dirt roads are getting scarcer (is that a word... ) today.

yes, my car has a 2X6 from the firewall back to the kickup at the rearend, that is laying on the frame wtih the body bolted to it. the car was really sound so i left the wood in the car. just removed it out of the doors because of all wear and tear the doors take. plus i removed maybe 50 lbs out of each door using 3/4 inch tubing and 20 guage metal. i could barely pick up a door when i removed them off the car. i can pick them up now easily now. and you can grab them at the top and bottom of the back of the door an try to twist the door it will not move. all my door with wood in them will flex top to bottom after they are used. jonathan
