IDK what they used back then, but 2x4s today are not pine, they
are Douglas Fir.

Only if you're in the western US or Canada (or Japan/China where
most Doug fir is exported to)...the kids in the lumber yards
around here don't even know what "Doug fur" is; some kind of pet,
maybe???
Douglas Fir is WAY too valuable to be used for residential
framing, even here in Canada./ What we buy is labled as "SPF" =
meaning mixed softwood - loosely spruce, pine and fir - but the
fir is seldom "douglas Fir" (more likely Balsam in the east and
Alpine in the west) and there is sometimes a bit of tamarac and
hemlock mixed in.

Same here in Florida at the borgs. It would be difficult to even
find douglas fir and, if so, it would not be cheap. I have trouble
imagining it - a western wood - winding up in New Jersey when SYP
or SFP is much closer and cheaper/

Better take that up with Home Depot:
