Looking good.

Your picutures bring up a question.

Here in the states I have been told that one of the ways to tell the differents between the 35 and 36 is the 36 had "pull" handles in the door and a smooth transition from "A" pillar to cowl pointed out in the cut from your truck.

My truck came with a 35 title but had all the 36 features.

I wonder if Henry just started in late 35 making the changes that became the 36?

 

no the way to tell a late 35 truck is that they have rubber window bumpers on the inside built in garnisher and on the outside the 36 trucks had a more car-like rollup channel kit.Hey you aint put the roll up winders in yours yet have you?i need help on how to get the bleeders in.......Marq

 

Lookin real good Marq!

On the doors I got a window kit from Obsolete Ford in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
It replaced all the felt in the doors.
The two pieces inside each door are a pain as the have a slot they drop into on the top but are “pierced” at the bottom.

Check out this site for how he changed his window out.

My truck has the early style cab with the later "built in" pull style doors. The later doors also had built in garnish moldings. The front fenders were also different for '36. For '35 the front fender bumper brackets were enclosed by the fender. In '36 Ford cut the bottom out of the access so that the fender could be replaced w/o removing the bumper bracket. I have one of each style on my pickup. Here is a good picture of my early style '35 cowl.
