Yes
thank you Jarhead
I did find two suppliers out there for these
about $85 for both corners

 

Anyone know if 37 or 38 car front end is the same as my truck?

 

All different.

 

Nothing on the cars will fit the trucks other than the straight axle and a few odds and ends. No sheet metal or trim will work. Any of the trucks will work as long as its not a COE. The fenders change when going past 3/4 tons and up. Trim is all the same, cabs are all the same, steering mast changes length when at 1 ton and possible 3/4 ton. Radiators change size but interchange with 1/2 tons.
'37 & '38 interchange sheet metal as long as you use the grill surround, hood, and hood sides from the specific year, you can mix hoods and grills between years. Late '36 cabs are slightly different, but the gauges and doors should work, windshield frames are different from 36 to 37, 38 is same as 37.
I believe fenders change from 36 to 37, 37-38 the same, 3/4 ton and up use bigger diameter openings.

who's got parts?

 

Anybody has a 36-38-46 frame for my 1938?
Supposed to check out a 85 Corvette rear man. 3:08 dana 44
Don't know if I should put it in the 36 (avatar) or the 38? Hmmmm??
What headaches may I encounter?

 

Ok...time for this project to go...
Who wants to buy it? $550
Decided to work on the Dodge instead

 

Cab & doors gone. Now its time for the 36 again

 

Nice project, Didn't get any of the original drive train. I am looking for a 38 flywheel and clutch ***y.
