Default Fire wall Question

Will a '35-'37 Ford pickup fire wall on the left fit in a '37 Sedan on the right, or is it to narrow? Thank you for the information.

1937 Ford was the first year for the battery box on the firewall. Your replacement firewall does not have a battery box for starters.Measure the width of the replacement and compare it to your sedan.

That would be a logical answer if I had one in hand. I want to buy the ' 35-' 37 truck firewall to replace the original '37 Tudor Sedan firewall. I just don't want to spend 3-4 hundred dollars on something that won't fit. I guess I wasn't clear on my original post, sorry.

So is there anyone that owns a ' 35 - '36 - '37 Ford truck that will be willing to post some measurements of their firewall?

They are different from front to back. As I said they are not as deep as car. I am using one in my 34 because I need to set engine back, to install 8BA with a Blower. Thank, John. p.s. You can call me at 904-879-1803.

You don’t say …. But if your goal is to have a ugly battery box free firewall?

Wouldn't it be easier to remove the battery box and patch over the hole?
