Art: I struggled with that very problem for quite some time back many years ago. I even tried the back bars someone was making for the 35-36 pickups, but I just couldn't take a liking to the whole concept of a rear bumper on my 35.

I have seen a very early picture, factory photo or dealer photo, of a line of 36 pickups. Some had the V in the middle of the bumper while others do not. I do not have any info on that photo, other than the fact that it does exist. I guess the factory just used what was available whether straight or V shaped. MOST commercials used the straight bumper.

Oh, what's the history on your avatar drawing? Interesting story I'm sure.
