First, I know the '35 and '36 have different wheel bolt patterns but does the carrier itself have the same bolt pattern where it bolts on to the car? Thanks Tom

To my knowledge yes, they have the same pattern.

Thanks Trjford8. I am considering changing the wheels on my '36 from a wide five to the smaller bolt pattern. In order to retain a deck mounted carrier I would need a '35 carrier on my '36. It sounds like it will be a bolt on item. And yes, I am aware that there are different carriers for the different bodies. Thanks again. Tom

Tom, just for info there is a 3'6 fordor in my area with the 35 wire wheels on it and on the spare. This car is what tells me the '35 tire carrier will fit a 36.

When I put hydraulic brakes on my '36 coupe in '52 I used '41 brakes/drums and wheels. I changed the spare tire mount to a '35 mount which bolted onto the stock '36 mounting without alteration. Years later when I switched back to wide five wheels on '39 drums I put a '36 spare tire mount back on to the car. The only difference between the '35-36 mount is the '35 mount is solid steel, where-as the '36 is stamped steel. I still have the '35 spare tire mount hanging on the wall in my garage.
