On a US model pickup, the 35 grill is not as wide front to back looking at it from the side. I do not know if the radiator fill hole will align with the top of the radiator, but if you have the grill in hand, you could check the measurement. The grill ornaments at the top on a 35 and 36 will not be the same. I believe the hood tops are the same on a 35 and 36. The hood sides I believe are dimensionally the same with the side emblems in different places. The inner fender panels on a 35 and 36 should interchange. The inner grill panels on a 35 and a 36 are very different and I doubt they would interchange. The panel that goes at the bottom of the grill and bolts to the chin that is present on a 36 is not on a 35 so the 35 would not be tapped for that panel which may well not fit. The radiator mount bracket on a 35 frame only has one hole on each side for mounting the radiator, while the 36 frame should have two on each side. If there is an alignment issue with the 35 grill and the 36 radiator, it may be as simple as using the other hole on the 36 radiator bracket. I do not know if that is the case, so maybe someone else can respond.
