    I bought this radiator recently and I am trying to fique out what it is from. It does not fit my 34 frame and looks different that my 36. Anyone recognize it?

    Not '35 or '36. The early- '35 radiator inlets came out of the bottom of the top tank. not horizontally. The mid-'35 & '36 radiator had a small tank (no overhang). This info according to the EFV8 Club's book, "1935-36 Ford Book"
     
  3. I have a 38 radiator that looks a lot like it. I know mine is 38 since there is a number (81 A) embossed in thge radiator upper tank near the right hose outlet.

    Could be wrong but looks like a 38 radiator. I had a 36 and it had a deeper tank front to back with an indentation underneath that helped clear the fan in my av8. I had a 38 I was gonna use and if I remember correctly it looked just like yours
     
  5. I think it is a 35 Ford truck one year only. 35 Ford trucks are hard to find my friend Tim looked for about five years.
    I found him two within ten miles of me and about two weeks apart he couldn't believe it.

    36 Ford truck very similar but I can't remember the differences.

    This came out of my 35 pickup which had been setting since 1950. I'm guessing that it is the stock radiator. WP_20171002_10_24_44_Pro.jpg WP_20171002_10_25_21_Pro.jpg

    It looks like the one I have from a '38 std. Coupe.
