I don’t know what the ones I have came off of ( part # gm 350777) but they don’t fit the original holes. They are close but no cigar.I have some for a 38 but they don’t fit either.

Maybe I got lucky. The pic Joe H shows in that ebay listing is the same as my '37. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,198 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,198 | Back when I was building my truck, a very informed member of this site told me the '37 stands were weak and broke easily, thats why they were hard to find. I went with the '39-'40 stands and drilled new holes for them in the core support. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 1,038 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 1,038 | Jim Carter has new reproduction ones which fit well on my '37. Other vendors may have them, as well.

Lights looked very tight together with wide fenders so made up some longer stands which was quite an easy fab job but when finished the head light hung out on a long stand was butt ugly so went with factory stands. Gist of the story is stands are not hard to make and when steel they are not fragile. [img]https://s31.postimg.cc/d8txtu847/37_T_wide_fenders_007.jpg[/img]
