Early '36 1-1/2 ton trucks used the same mechanical brakes as the '35. I think they had the full floating rear axle. I have not seen one but I have a first edition 1936 Truck Owners Manual which states that the 1-1/2 ton trucks had mechanicals.
I sent a PM to Notjustair. I have a NOS tapered axle hub for his '35 truck.
