Default Re: 1935/36 pick up

The 1935 radiator grille shell has a different radiator grille shell apron, different hood ornament and different lower radiator shield. The shell itself is deeper and has different side supports. You will need to find or replace all these parts.

All that said, the 1935 and 1936 radiators grille shells will interchange. Both 1935 and 1936 pickups and trucks had a three tube rows and four tube row radiator versions. Both versions of grille shells will fit either year. Ford enlarged the depth of the radiator grille shell, shell side supports, apron and shield 1936 in an effort to capture and direct more air to the radiator. This is all assuming there are no modifications made to your pickup that might cause some interference. For reference, attached is the table showing the different radiator types for Model 51 trucks, but pickups used the same radiator but with the only difference being the angle of the bottom hose fittings.
