36 passenger cars continued to use aluminum heads, but commercial vehicles like the pickup and panel delivery used cast iron heads.

Your cast iron heads are not original. In 1936, as Don Rogers has stated previously, utilized only aluminum heads on the passenger cars.

The aluminum heads were a very poor quality casting with
very large pours. They get saturated with water and become
leaky and get kind of soft and leak. I have one right now I'm
working on. I keep the old aluminum heads but replace them
with steel ones painted aluminum. G.M.
