My 1936 pickup with 36 tranny must be double clutched when shifting into 2nd and 3rd.

If your '36 requires double clutching in 2nd and 3rd, something is worn or damaged. (Or you're trying to speed shift like you were in a drag race).
As far as 1st gear goes, it is not synchronized. No Fords had a synchronized 1st gear until 1963. So if you want to down shift into low while the car is moving, you have to double clutch to avid grinding.
