'40 Ford Coupe Radiator Support?

I have a '40 Ford Coupe in the shop for some work. Needs a 3 core radiator but I don't see any way that a stock radiator was mounted, is there a core support? or radiator mount?. Got any pic's of what holds a stock radiator in a '40? What has worked for you in a '40? Thanks!

 

The 40 radiator mounts on ears spring-loaded to the frame just like the earlier cars. The front sheet metal is supported by a yoke which has a central mount like most cars of the era.

 

plus there are some support braces that run from the saddle to the sides of the radiator

 

There are holes in the frame that the bottom mounting ears from the radiator bolt to and a slot at the top of the radiator sides a bracket mounts from there to the inner fender panels.

 

just a thought , if it has IFS the brackets 4tford is talking about may not be there

 

there's part of it.

That is not a 40. The frame on a 40 has a tab on each side that the tabs on the side of the radiator set on with a rubber pad, bolt thru a spring and nut to hold it together. There is a bracket on each side that fit's into a slot on the radiator and bolts to the inner fender panels to support the upper portion of the radiator. I don't have a good picture but could take one this evening for you.

 

Bob Drake reproduces the upper braces.

 

Thanks guy's good info! All I had to go by was the holes in the end of the frame horns. Now I know what I need. Lon

 

If you get online and look through **** Spadaro's great catalog,
I think you'll be able to see how it all fits together, unless my CRS
is acting up again.
