    Just wanted to p*** 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 br***. Went with this aluminum from Brice Thomas Radiators (CGJ) in Alabama mainly because of the stamped top tank. Once painted it p***es 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.

    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.
