Engine splash pans.

Anybody know if the engine splash pans for a '37 Ford passenger car are the same as the '40 Ford passenger car?

I am NO expert BUT given that from 1932 thru 1937 (even 33 & 34 are different) are ALL different, I,E not ONE will fit the other....... I can ALSO say that 39 Ford and 39 Mercury are ALSO different.......I would almost assuredly think the answer would be no, they are not the same!!!!!

The engine splash pans for a '39 DeLuxe might be similar to a '40 Standard, but then again maybe not...

And then..............
Splash pans for 1937 were different. There is the 78- part number and the 74- part number.
You have to ask -- 85 hp or 60 hp?
According to the April 1949 Ford Chassis Parts & Accessories Catalogue
74-6775 RH 60 hp and 74-6776 LH 60 hp
the only pans listed for the 85 hp 1937 are part # 91A-6775 and 91A-6776 (37-41)
Hope this helps -- and could answer your question about if 40 are similar. (oh, by the way, the catalogue lists them as no longer supplied)

Bruce points to a classic example of why any version of the late '40s so-called green bible is virtually worthless when it comes to questions pertaining to vehicles no longer within shouting distance of the normal amount of time a full range of service parts was offered by Ford for an earlier model year. By definition, parts with a different, later, number prefix are not same as those used originally. They may work functionally, but they are not the same parts.

1939 and 1940 pans are different but all will fit and function between all '39 and '40 passenger cars. There was even a design change to the left pan in the middle of the '40 model year.

TJ, They ('37 pans) are not the same as '39 and / or '40 pans. However, the '39 AND '40 pans will fit and function on a '37 passenger car.
If concourse correct is not a priority, you'll have an easier time locating the '39 or '40 pans.
Heck, I may even have some beauties if you so desire...

Mike and all, thanks for the responses. I have a man who is looking for the right side pan for a 85HP 37. I have an extra right side '40 and thought I might be able to help him. It appears the '37 and '40 are not the same. Mike has confirmed my suspicion that it will fit, so I will see if he needs concourse correct or not. Thanks guys.
