We've tried to clarify this before on this forum, but some things need to be repeated before they stick to the wall. There is no such animal as a '36 windshield post, wind wing brackets and matching wind wing glass, but there are two '35 versions of those components. If you have a '36 body parts catalogue, you will note that those components do not have the '36 "68" part number prefix, but rather have a "48" or '35 part number prefix plus a "B" suffix. The "B" suffix parts were released during the '35 model year and late '35 phaetons and roadsters came equipped with those parts. This has been confirmed in Ford's engineering records at the Benson Ford Research Center in Dearborn. I had two late '35 phaetons which were so equipped and it sounds like 35ragtop had one too.

As for fit, they are interchangeable as stated above.
