Grigg...
Not positive but I'm pretty sure you have a lot more room under your hood in either vehicle than
the available space under the hood of the '37 That's why I ask... most old chevy trucks have way more room than those of us with 36/37/38 chevy pickups...
That said, who knows... perhaps your idea will work but we're not talkin' a lot of space here...
