FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Going ba k to the original question.......NO

The radiator was moved forward in 1936 commercial vehicles and the grille sh*ll had to be deepened toallow for the forward radiator.

This prohibits a simple swapping of grille and hood sheet metal.

Don: Thank You for weighing in on this. I was unaware of the radiator issue, although I worked on both 35 and 36 trucks. As I recall, lifting the hood sides on a 35 was challenging, as you had to rotate both handles down with both hands, while lifting up at the same time. I hope that the original poster "feeds-back" his receipt of your detailed information. I grew up with 35 & 36 "ton and a half" trucks that we used in orchard operations in So Cal in the 50's. Needless to say, I'm not a particular good authority given the length of time that has elapsed since then.

trjford8: The last time I worked on a 35 truck was in 1962, and I do remember that the hood latch handles on 35 and 36 were different. If my fading memory serves me, the 35 had two, and the 36 had one center latch handle that worked both corner latches.

tymothyd2: You might get a better answer to your question if you post it in the "truck" section of this Forum. That subject heading has folks following it that can give you much more detailed differences between the two visually similar years.

Stroker , you are right. I missed the pickup part. Aren't the hoods different between the 35 and 36 pickup?

trjford8: I believe your response was appropriate for a 35/36 car, but to answer his question regarding a pickup I would suggest that yes, they can be interchanged.

Basically you will have to use the entire front clip of either a 35 or 36 to make everything fit correctly. There is also a difference between the 35 and 36 rear fenders.
