Any tricky spots for screws? Adhesive? but I can’t see any evidence between the parts.
Some guy that had our '37 PU got tired of it leaking so he globbed a bunch of silicone caulk all over it. After I dug all of that out and WD-40'ed the gear mechanism it worked good. New seal replaced too.
But it still leaked like a bugger! I just stayed out of the rain with it.

Next time maybe Phil Swift's Flex Seal yeah!!!

I just found a good working 35-36 w/s regulator in my stash. Original and in good clean shape. What's it worth to somebody. Start a budding war fellers. LOL

Open a gap with putty knife and pass a fishing line thru there and then run all the way around the frame to get it loose.

I may have what your looking for. Is it the same as a 36? I have one that is in nice shape that has a paper tag on it that says 36. It was in the glove box of my 41 pickup when I drug it home. Shoot me a pic and if it is the same its yours, Tim

Yes. 35-36 are the same.
