1938 is sort of a lone unit. last year for mechanical brakes, also was a wide 5 bolt pattern....
good point Chris on the brakes. i knew it would be close but not sure sort of thingy, that would be an easy test for you with all the stuff you grew up with. lol what's the interchange years, if there is any being a last year attempt, just curious is all.
Exact direct replacement would only be 1936-38 Rick....

OK, here's what he has. There are 16 teeth on the inside end. 32 3/4" long from the inside of the gear. He says from '37 to '41 they are the same. '42 and up they were longer.

Getting technical and only using a basic axle shaft a 1935-40 car or 1935-41 will be the same. If he's looking for a
rear axle assembly, only 1936-38 is correct because the drum is indeed different for the wide five wheel from 1936 to 1938.
The hydraulic brake started at 1939 too so if his chassis is 1938,there won't be a master cylinder... to throw it off even more a 60hp axle has
a different ratio as does a pickup..
