The Ford Barn

Have an early ford pickup looking to restore but need some direction. The serial number indicates its a 1936 (*18-2915007*), saw somewhere that #3 million rolled off in June of '36, so if I'm right this is a '36 ford ... however, body is that of a '35, based on hood badge location, bumper/fender set up, and cowl ... The pick up is supposedly original, so body wasn't placed on frame. Read somewhere that in '36 a number of pickups were outfitted with '35 bodies ... but which would be the best way to restore ...as a '35 or '36, looking at details for bumper, wheels, etc. Thanks
