I can check my '36 if you think they are the same. Please let me know. Is your '37 original or a street rod? I ask because I have a NOS Sorensen carburetor kit for a '37 Chevy.

I measured the boards on my '37 Chevy 1/2 ton.

Two, one on each end, are: 7 3/4" wide
Four are: 7 7/16" wide

Length for all 6 boards is: 86"

Edit adddition--I do not know the thickness for a '37. But, if IF, it is the same as for a '46: it is 13/16".

Standard wood thickness:
Soft woods are 3/4" thick.
Hard woods are 13/16" thick.

The yellow pine bed remnants removed from an unmolested parts truck '46 I had access to measure 13/16" in thickness.

In '37 oak would have been used for truck bed material. Do not know for certain the thickness used back then.
