    Hi Dave. Did you make that sparemount fender from a regular fender or repair the one you had?? One more question. Is the 36,37,and 38 all the same?? I believe all the front fenders were inner-changeable but the rear ones were different as far as cars and trucks go. Is this correct?? Thanks Gary

    As far as I know, none of the front fenders are interchangeable!

    It was made from used 36 fender. There was enough of a pattern left with sidemount cutout I received when I purchased truck. We cut it out and layed on top of fender to mark what needed cut out. After measuring rusty pattern, I purchased a 13 gauge motorcycle fender on E-bay, that was close to size for 105.00. It needed split down center, stretched on an English wheel and welded back together with sides. (I had help of friend who has all equipment and knowledge on how to use it.) 1936 fenders are 36 only!

    Very nice work! How many 36 panel trucks are known to exist?? Or should I say Sedan Delivery. I think Sedan Deliveries were 34-36 and Panel Deliveries were 37-38.

    Fenders will interchange,37/38 BUT, the profile is different on them, we have a guy in our club who has a 1937, we always wondered why his car looked lower on one side than the other, on closer inspection one fender is higher than the other in the dome.

    Other than ours, there is the one 1936 at Hostetler's museum and I heard there is one that is in very bad condition in New Mexico. Mike Whitted has an unrestored 1935, Hemmings Motor News has restored 1937 and John Folkner has a 1939 with 200 bullet holes in it. Those are the only ones I have heard about.

    FYI, sedan deliveries were on car frame and panel deliveries were on 3/4 ton truck chassis.

    "FYI, sedan deliveries were on car frame and panel deliveries were on 3/4 ton truck chassis."

    If you eliminate the "3/4 ton" portion of that statement, that generally applies to all makes of automobiles. Typically, the sedan deliveries had one wide door and the panel deliveries had two doors side by side.

    Hudson made sedan deliveries in 1933 & 1934, panel deliveries 1935-1939
