Just wondering if anyone has done this before. I'm pretty sure it's not going to bolt right on but also it's probably not impossible to make it work. I think the hood will be the biggest challenge and the area where the running boards bolt to the front fenders. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,441 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,441 | Might try posting this in the Paint and Body Forum for more expert answers.

Now, depending on how much work you are willing to do, you could probably make it fit. It might fit the frame since the same frame was used up through 54. Bolting it to the frame might be similar, but just to set on a 37 frame with a cab and front end and hope to bolt it up totally and to the cab too - no.
