Yes, the post said front fenders but I think 6cylinders comments are well intended and on the mark.
I have seen several 37's.
MY 37 had the spare under the rear. My nephew and I just recently finished up another 37 restoration and it had the indentation on the left/driver side rear fender so the spare could be mounted between the cab and rear fenders. The indentation was so good I agree with 6cylinders on this one.... that indentations on the Rear fenders were custom made... probably "stamped" as the demand would seemingly be greater for the rear than the front.
I will say this. I have a book on engineering stuff for 1937 trucks. I have loaned it to someone but going from memory I believe it showed some pictures of vehicles with front fender spare's.... but in all honesty I think the pics were of a sedan delivery. I'll have to check after I get it back.
Its my opinion that the front fenders for spare tires were probably custom made for the trucks plus the fact that forming stuff by hand back then was not an uncommon thing.
.... just my observations and opinions or .02 on the subject.
