I'd shoot for a '37-'39 box because it will still have the provision for the headlight switch down at the bottom. Also, the length of the column should still be correct for a '36.

The pic below shows the one you want on the left, as it has the set-up with the provision for the wire bail to hold your switch in place, like the '36 has on the right. 1940 and later boxes just have a flat plate at that point. Your '36 Pitman arm will fit right on if you decide to use it. DD
