The engines for the '36 and '37 are different. The 1936 will have a 207 (last year for that motor) and the '37 will have a 216 (first year for that motor).

Both years had 131" and 157" wheelbase 1-1/2 ton trucks that had curb weights of about 4500 and 5100 pounds respectively with dual rear wheels. The 131 would have a 9' bed while the 157 would have a 12' bed. The gross weight would be about 12,000 pounds with helper springs.

These trucks can do the same work as a newer truck around the farm when maintained, who drives 60 mph across the field anyway? And when going to the feed store you'll be driving in style at 45 mph, smelling the roses with a big smile on your face!
