My 52 Ford F1 Project - NKY
#166
Available in 22", 24", 26", 28" or 31" (width measurements include tanks)
!Note! the only difference is the width! They make a taller one, but this is the one I used. You just need to remember you want a Ford style radiator and the width and height and anyone can get you a radiator, I went with this one because I thought it was the best deal, and it doesnt have the glue that everyone on FTE warns about.
Measure across your intended radiator frame (I used the stock radiator frame so I did not have to worry about how to bolt the fenders on).
I am running a 16# cap, and the speedway overflow tank.

Still crawling along
Haven't posted much but still crawling along. Easy for me to blow a whole weekend just painting the interior of one door....
Had a huge setback with the hood and tailgate, after tons of hours of sanding and filling, after tons of hours with a hammer and dolly.... The paint had TONS of fish eyes.... Put down the tools for a few months I was so discouraged.
Parts wise... Got new rear fenders, new glass, new headliner and panels, and the window trim/rattle kit.
Got the interior painted, picked up cloth and vinyl to consider using to cover the door panels with.
Enough yapping, here are some pics before I head back out the door and into the garage.
Front lower valance with glaze coat
Before
Dream cruise
Still rough... Probably going to replace
Big setback with paint issues
All this prep work was before I had the paint issue

Sure would be nice to make it to truck stock with the truck. Any lockdown on date and location?
I'm hoping to have it all one color primer this year.
I'm excited to get the headlights on and wired up so I can drive it further than around town.
Thanks for the feedback, got the front end apart to keep crawling in the right direction.
I am definitely not a body man, but I love driving it even more now that everything I can see from the inside is painted or primed.

Too far for me, I would be interested in a Midwest event.

Truck looks fantastic!! I'm soooo jealous.
I know you probably don't feel like it now, but keep going and get the paint done now.
Option I : Final primer > Paint
rub back, spray on, put truck back together once, feel GREAT
Option II : Drive in Primer for a few years
surface rust popping through, have to disassemble again, strip back to metal, redo filler from scratch again....and still need to paint.
It's looking soooo good, and it gets easier and easier from here!!
