If so, they could be replacements sold by Chevy and cast after the production run of the truck. My '36 Low Roof has a cylinder head cast in 1939.
I have never read anything on the change-over date from High Roof to Low Roof in 1936.
It is a VERY odd situation with the High Roof not being like the '34-'35 and the Low Roof not being like the '37-'38. Two unique partial year cabs.
