Our first attempt on this swap was to keep the '36 frame mounting plate and drill the extra hole in the steering box casting, exactly as suggested in these posts, and in our case, it would not work since the '37 steering box interfered with the exhaust manifold. So, at that time our only recourse was to remove the '36 mounting bracket and replace with a stock '37-'41 steering box mounting bracket. This was a royal pita on a completely assembled vehicle, BUT the final results were well worth the effort!!
