    Hello, so i got my 1950 dodge meadowbrook running last weekend and i found out the radiator was leaking and the fuel tank needed to be cleaned. Dropped the fuel tank off and cringed at the quote for my radiator. So i began looking for alternatives, i found the champion CC52PLY radiator and it seems to be for every 49-52 dodge/plymouth/chrysler but it dosent list the meadowbrook as one. Is there a difference in the radiators? or will this bolt in just fine? below is a link to the radiator http://www.championradiators.com/product/CC52PLY

    Thanks
    Ryan

    They are almost all the same amongst the MOPAR brands - If it cools a Plymouth it will cool a Dodge - same engine - just a bore or stroke differance but there things were over engineered in their day. Shame you could not save the old one as they look real great with the CDDP logo stamped in them. I got my OT 68 Chrysler one cleaned out 4 weeks ago and it cost $80 NZ and I am rapt and that inc blocking some tubes off so it was not too bad.

    I bought the same exact one for my 1953 desoto! They all seem to be the same size. The only thing I had to do is cut the 45* elbow off of the bottom outlet just because of my motor application.. Mine is 2 core and it with a 16inch electric fan keeps my big block 400 at 185* all day long.

    ok perfect thanks for the help. thought they were the same just wanted to be sure. Im keeping the radiator so i can recore it later. as the alum is less than half of the estimates i got.
