The banjo housing and the spring seat trunions are different on the 1937 rear axle assembly, so that is why either your original 1939 (or a 1938) banjo is needed.

The banjo housing is the big part that goes from wheel to wheel. I mentioned this in my first post. You said you picked-up the center housing and torque tube/drive shaft which is the common part that fits into the bajo housing. So you are safe.

I have my 37 all apart just make sure your back lash is good and your pinion to ring contact is in the middle of both gears. Set contact by shims for the pinion. The back lash is set by the threaded rings in the housing. Make sure every thing is edible clean. The Chevy shop manual will help a lot.
