I'm messing with something and, long story short, a 52 flathad is going in a 55 truck. I have a 52 truck radiator and I will probably end up cramming it in there anyway but... Will a 52 radiator fit ok? Will a 53 flathead radiator fit the front mounting area? Just wondering if anyone else has done something this hokey... Thanks in advance.
I know nothing about them, except that the body changed significantly in 1953, and the engine changed in 1954. So, I would naturally try to fit a 1953 radiator into it. http://www.lmctruck.com/features/fa/FARAD.htm
F-1 Narrower and Taller. F-100 Shorter and Wider. Can you make it work? Hmmm. A 52 motor is same as 53. If you can't find a 53 V-8 rad just use any 53-56 and have a Rad shop add the correct outlets. The Wizzard
