35-36 A pillars

I just recently purchased a 35 Ford Pickup, complete body & chassis. It is titled a 35 and vin matches the stamping on the truck.
Here's the challenge, the A pillars are smooth and flow like a 36. Its suppose to be an original cab, doors and sheet metal. The hood is def 35 and no garnish moldings in doors.

My biggest question is there a such thing as a very late 35 that had smooth A pillars?

I know that parts were used till they were gone, and Henrys reputation for being savvy with his usefulness, but it doesn't make sense to me to take a 36 style cab then use all 35 parts and sell it as a 35. You would think it would be sold as a 36 with the left over parts.

This truck is pretty well documented with only 2 previous owners. The last owner had it in storage for the past 45 years.

Any insight would be great!

 

Check your Id number against this site. http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_serialnumbers.htm

That way you know least what year the ID number is. You can go from there.

 

The F-100 designation did not appear until 1953.....it's just a plain old pickup. If the title says '35, then I would call it a '35......JMO

 

Wow, cool link on the serial #s.

My # indeed is a very late one 18-2,203....... and the model year 35 ending at 18-2,207......

It is a true 35, so I guess that means the smooth A-pillar application started in late 35 model year.

 

Yes there and without the garnish on the doors in late 35.
