Can you guys post pics of how your radiator overflow tank is installed?

 

They were not installed nor needed for these old trucks. There is aprox. 4.5 gallons of coolant in a FE engine truck, with a huge frontal opening. Leave it down 2-3" in the radiator and that is all the expansion needed.

Yup, just a rubber line running over the side of the radiator to get the fluid down out of the way. No tank.

If you feel the need to have a recovery tank, you'll just have to run the rubber line to it.

 

DOAZ-8522-A .. Coolant Recovery Tank / Available at the parts counter or as a dealer installed accessory.

When Ford introduced this tank in 1970, we noticed it was the exact same "fitz-all" sold by autoparts stores, because that's what we had been installing for customers that wanted one.

1965/79: The only factory installed coolant recovery tank (D1TZ-8A080-A) was used in 1971/74: F100/250 240 I-6 2WD w/a M/T & Econoline 240 I-6 w/a M/T.

 

Thanks ND.

 

Thanks for that app info, Bill. Here's a pic of the D1TZ jug.Scarce as they are, funny thing is one wrecker I've been haunting for the last twenty five years has supplied me with five of them.
