Thanks for your comment. Transmission is 3 speed '37 based on part numbers. Driveline likely stock '37 as it, with trans, came with the frame. 1937 mechanical brake actuating shaft and clevis attach points are available for re-install at the cross member. As best I can tell, the two years had very similar actuators, with the '36 emergency brake clevis on the right side for a floor lever, and the '37 on the left side of the actuator. '37 may be the best way to go (I can buy a lever and cable to the cross member actuator) but I do not know how or where the '37 lever should mount under the dash, nor if my '36 dash and firewall are compatible.
