'48-'52 what radiator used?
1948 to 1952
The 4-row radiator for a 1972-1979 Dodge D-100 pick up with 318 CID engine. Measures approximately 26.25” wide by 18” tall. Outlets are top left 1.5” hose and bottom right 1.75” hose.
The 4-row radiator for a 1970 Ford F-100. Measures 26.25” wide X 19.25” tall. Outlets are top right 1.75”hose and bottom left 2.0” hose.
1976 Mustang with 351 CID engine. Measures 22” wide by 21” tall (excluding the neck). Fits the radiator support easily. Outlets are top right and bottom right.
Since these replacements may be shorter and/or narrower that the original, you'll need to fill the gap at the top and/or sides to ensure proper air flow through the radiator rather than around it.
1953-1956
The 1967-1979 Ford F-100 V-8 radiator (Radpro part number 433, Spectra part number CU318 or CU320, AutoZone part number 436002 or 433433). Measures 26.375” wide by 19.25” high. Outlets top right 1.5” hose and bottom right 1.75” hose. Try AutoZone hoses L-222 upper and M-078 lower. This is probably the most popular substitute for the 1953 to 1955s. It fits the stock radiator support nicely. You just need to relocate a few mounting holes in the radiator brackets. It has ample cooling ability and a moderate price.
The 1997-2000 Explorer radiator meant for the 4.0 DOHC engine. This is a 4-row aluminum unit with plastic tanks. It requires a bit of playing around with mounts, but nothing too difficult.
Modine part number 395 is a 2-row and part numbers 433 and 545 are 3-row. 4-row versions of the 433 and the 545 are also available. These units measure 24 to 26.5” wide. Several folks have raved about how nicely they fit.

...I knew there had to be a catch...LOL
My ol' lady is actually pretty good about my truck hobby. Probably because the funding doesn't come out of regular household budget type stuff. I fund it by saving nickles and dimes and swapping and selling parts here and there.

If only I invented the paper clip....
Yea, you have to be careful. Don't ever do any kind of deal or swapping when the ol' lady is around or don't ever tell her what kind of profit you made on a deal. Invariably a bill will magically appear that is at or just slightly above the profit you just made.
I don't know if they do it on purpose or if Murphy's Law just keep extra close tabs on the situation but it happens every time.
