Anybody have solution for radiator for 1935 pickup with 1953 flathead engine other than br*** works 1600.00 and 4 month wait. Doesn't have to be original would like goose neck filler so i can have pressure system and straight outlets on top. I have the brackets off radiator that support radiator shell. but no radiator. has any one put a 1936 pickup radiator in 1935 pickup CJGs has one for 1936 pickup but not 1935. They say they are not the same?
Maybe Johnson's? https://johnsonsradiatorworks.com/ Don't know where you're located but these guys have done work for me in the past and they do custom work. Might be worth a call. Fontana Radiator | Heavy Equipment, Aluminum, Br***, Custom & Motorcycle Radiator Repair
US Radiator? https://usradiator.com/ I got my radiator from them. '29 roadster, '51 8BA. They did a great job, and were easy to work with. It was about a month wait.
Introducing yourself and where you live would be nice with your first post. The only difference between the 35 and 36 radiator could possibly be the 36 is thicker based on the radiator shell being thicker. These people can do whatever you need done with your radiator. The last time I was there, a gentleman was picking up a radiator and he was from Southern Oregon. Said this was the only place he could get his radiator done properly. https://hartradiator.com/ https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1935-1936-ford-pickup-tech-for-the-m***es.236409/
I know you’re thinking “that’s a lot of money, heck, AP store has one for my car for 169.99”. Thing is, it’s custom made, and let’s face it, there’s no reason to m*** produce ‘35 Ford radiators.
This is your 2nd post on this.... https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1935-pickup-radiator.1308801/
Many years ago I turned a OT ( Torino ) cross flow on end had a gooseneck for the cap and used OEM inlet and outlet . You could make it run hot in the line of traffic at the Nats . . 30 years and still going today . Oh it was a 35 truck
I used a BeCool aluminum they built it to my specs and it was the best thing I ever did for my 36PU, if you don't want copper and damn it cools great.
looks good are those brackets that hold grill original style? Do they have measurements for radiator or did you supply them. I dont have radiator to compare.
