    Just wanted to pass on a couple pics of my new radiator for my '34. Didn't really want the look of a fabbed sheet tank aluminum but didn't want to spend the $ for a brass. Went with this aluminum from Brice Thomas Radiators (CGJ) in Alabama mainly because of the stamped top tank. Once painted it passes off not too bad. Build quality is awesome and they made to the exact chopped height I wanted as they build their own cores. Price was $395 and they would have painted it black for me for $20 but I forgot to have it done.

    Really glad to hear about him. I live about 50'miles north of him and I need a radiator for my 34 Ford pickup. We have a lot of talent in the southeast
     
  7. The stamped top tank makes all the difference

    I know, one thing at a time, but... this from a guy who puts a Plymouth in a Ford?
    Kidding, of course, whatever blows yer hair back!

    One day people will figure out why the Plymouth motor. But I am not telling, I don't want the prices to go up even more...

    I need a radiator for my '34 as well, but the top outlets on the one in these pics aren't stock, right? I wonder if they make a stock replacement, including a fill in the stock location?

    Check their website cgj.com, they have ever application imaginable. They had no issues on making changes also. I don't remember what radiator I started with, but they asked me if I wanted to change width, height, outlet size and placement, drain placement, etc. Pretty sure they still sell on ebay also. Quality is second to none.
    They reason I posted this is through all the searching about radiators I did here, I found almost nothing about them and after doing business there I wanted to make sure others were aware of another choice. On these radiators the stamped tank is the difference. I will stick my shell on and post another pic, we'll see if it blends in as well as I think it will.

  13. Looks like a 32 radiator to me.

    34 truck used the same radiator, mounted the same way on the same frame but different grill.

    Yeah, it was a '32 radiator in their catalog but I don't remember which one exactly.
     
  15. I thought that name sounded familiar. My home town thirty years ago. But I didn't know they did street rod radiators. Had I known that I would not have ordered one out of state. Thanks for the info.

    Wow, that was wrong! Jade something...
    Anyway, I fixed it. CGJ.com

    I looked at my order and my radiator started out as a 4013c. Bought it in January.
