FWIW Pine boards 1x6 or1x8 tongue and groove with center groove  are commonly called car siding. I used a bunch of white pine for a vaulted ceiling then lumber yard ran out and sent yellow pine - big problem!

Go for it, Sherlock. I wonder, though, where you would find the original specs. I know that a lot of builders used the "Double Board" Siding. That is one board with a center groove to look like individual boards (done for aesthetics or warpage? I'll go with warpage because it costs extra to cut the center groove. As far as the differences between the builders, your guess is as good as mine. I don't have any of the original construction specs from Barney & Smith, Litchfield, St. Charles, Peninsular or ACF.
