1949 Chevy Questions

I have a couple questions, and I figured I'd ask them all at once. I need a radiator for mine, and I'm having a hard time finding one. What years will interchange? I took mine to get repaired, and I'm not even gonna post how much they wanted! Also, is there a spring that attaches to the brake pedal for it to return? If so, where might I find one? Thanks

 

you should be ablet o find your parts here

sounds like you got no breaks. /pressure

 

Yeah, it's odd. The pedal is hard, stops the car fine, but the pedal remains down. The pressure stays in the line, the lights are still lit, if I pull it back with my toe it returns.

 

Gerg, thanks for the link. The radiators they sell are street rod stuff, I'm looking more towards something more original. I assume that 49-54 radiators will fit, are those the only years? How about trucks?

 

Try U.S. Radiator from out in California.

 

Radiator, ('08 catalog) Part no. 3130944, 49-54 Chev, Copper/Brass $296.75. Chevsofthe40's.

 

Thank you-in my haste I clicked on street rod parts instead of restoration.

 

there is a return spring on the brake petal, i just checked one of my frames. i have an extra spring if you want it

 

Running this one in mine, nice piece for the price, upper hose outlet is a bit small, I may have it replaced with a larger one (fine for 6cyl., I'm running a 350)

 

...I've run these a couple times, they do have a small upper hose outlet but I've run em with V8's with no problems.

 

I have a recored 1949 Rad that I will not be using in my car.. if your interested we could work out a deal... it is just sitting here.
