Pretty sure the 1936 car and pickup front crossmembers are the same. There is a difference in the body mounts that are on the side of the frame, as in none on a pickup but the basic frame is the same.
You might be thinking of a 41 pickup frame where there is a deeper front crossmember to accommodate the six cylinder engine.
