37/ 38 ford fenders

Are the front fenders the same on a 37 and 38 ford?

 

No, there a subtle differences..............at a casual glance they look the same, but upon closer comparison you can see the differences. What are those differences, you ask? I don't have any nearby to use for example, though I do have each, so you'll just have to take my word for it......or not.

 

I have a 38 coupe and was wondering how much trouble it would be to use the 37 front clip.

 

The '38 Standard resembled the '37. It should be pretty close to a bolt on. I haven't done it yet but from what I understand it is pretty close to a bolt on if not a direct bolt on.

Pretty easy to mistake a '38 Standard for a '37.
But as has been mentioned there are subtle differences.

 

37 has a peak down the center and the 38 is all round,

 

37 see the Peak


38 Standard No Peak



38 Deluxe is also Different around the cowl and running boards,

 

'37 Clip will fit directly on a '38. I've NEVER seen a full set of '38 Standard front sheet metal for sale at a swap meet in the last 30 years compared to TONS of '37s.

Also note- '38 STANDARD and '38 DELUXE front fenders are different as well!
