These trucks were daily drivers when new, so they are up for the task, just not at the speeds we go now.
Is this truck a High or Low cab (two or three hinges on each door)?
Being so early in the production year are you sure it has hydraulic brakes??? The cars got juice brakes right from the start, but the big trucks did not.
There is no real value to any of the BIG old trucks at this time, so any up grades need to be done because that's the way you want it and not because you think it will add value. You will be upside down money wise almost from day one!
It might be easier to move the sheet metal over to a modern 1-ton chassis, rather than trying to make a 1936 truck run and stop at 65 mph...
