    I found this really cool old radiator at a s**** yard and was hoping someone here could help me identify it.

    I would say it is from a Commerce truck around 1917.

    I did save it! Does anyone have pics of one of these trucks? I'm having a hard time finding any info online.

    It is a truck, they were made from 1907 to 1926. That radiator style went into the mid 20s on most old trucks. Hard to guess the year.

    I would grab it if you can get it for retail s**** price. The cap is probably quite valuable to a truck collector.

    just some useless info on the oval shaped radiator filler opening. Many trucks and tractors used the same shape, as it was made that way to fill the radiator with a pail or a bucket. :)
