The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Differences in 35 and 36 Ford Pick-up

The front fenders are not all the same. Some of the fenders have enclosed holes where the front bumper brackets pass through and some (most) have what amounts to a slot for the front bumper braces. I have been told that the fenders with the enclosed holes were early 35, which makes sense since the 37 pickup has the slotted type front fenders. The front fenders will interchange from 35-37 on the pickups. As Brendan pointed out, the 36 has the wide five artillery wheels and the 35 had wire wheels with a different bolt pattern. The 35 spare carrier is a one year design as a result with the 36 and 37 being different than the 35 due to the wide five.
