Dunno how true it is, but someone once told me the 737 series uses the same basic jig as the original 707 for the nose

3 Greens , rumour was that Boeing only built one nose and fuselage . Assembly line rang up producton facility the week B4 , asking for so many and what lengths to fit 720s , 707s 100-300 , 727s 100-200 , 737s 100/200/300/400/500/600/700/800/900/P8/Max 7/8/9/10? , KC 135s , 137s et al . Someone very high up had to work hard persuading the production line to accept a new nose for the 757 !
