Bobby,
Thanks for the info. I'm going to look into this radiator for my 48 F-3. I kew from previous posts that a Dodge truck radiator from the mid 70s might work, but I never could get the exact model or part number. I appreciate it.

Bobby,
Got it! There's a 436006 on Ebay right now. It's a new 3 row radiator for a 75 D-200 for a buy-it-now price of $169 + $15 shipping. I'll look into local availability before I buy one on Ebay but it looks like a radiator I could easily install in my 48 F-3. I will be using the original core support, but it looks like the dimensions are close enough to the original to install it with little fabrication...plus the outlets are on the proper side and the right size for my particular engine.

Vern,
That's the one. I bought mine through a local parts house for $125. I can't remember if it was Autozone, Checker Auto, or Pep Boys. They didn't show the part number in their local store directory but I had checked their website first and knew they could get it. I had them order it in at no extra cost.
Good luck with it

Bobby,
Thanks to your information I bought the 436006 radiator on Ebay for my 48 F-3. What is the displacement of your engine and how well does this three row radiator cool it? Do you run a mechanical or electric fan and what degree thermostat are you running? I noticed that this radiator comes with a sensor fitting on the top tank. Do you know what that was used for in the original application? According to the seller this radiator fits a lot of applications in addition to the 72-79 Dodge pickup including Dodge Charger, Coronet, and Challenger, Plymouth Road Runner, Barracuda, Satellite, and Sebrings of the early 70s and even many Dodge vans up to 79 with 318 to 360 engines. It is a very versatile radiator and would be easy to find a replacement if I needed it. Thanks again for the tip...

Could be, or it could be for temperature or some kind of emissions system. I don't have a clue. I can always plug it, but was just curious.

I found out that's exactly what the sensor opening is for...low coolant. I wouldn't mind having such a sensor if I could figure out how it works and how to wire it in....might be cool.

radiator
Gentlemen,
I'm glad my tip for the radiator was useful. I spent quite a bit of time studying radiator websites trying to find a radiator from an existing application.
I'm running a 500ci Cadillac with an automatic trans. I'm using the original flex fan fan clutch and stock thermostat. I do know that the big Caddy engine tends to run on the hot side (215 -220 is normal). I may end up using an electric fan, I don't know yet as my truck isn't at the driving stage yet. I've barely got it up and running enough to check out all of the systems. In fact I just pulled the engine back out over the weekend so that I can box the frame and clean and paint everything.
On my upper tank there are only two openings, one for the upper hose and a 3/8"npt fitting that I used for the heater hose.
Most of the newer cars are equipped with low coolant sensors, so it should be easy enough to adapt one.

Bobby,
If this radiator will cool 500 cubic inches then I should have no problem. I will also be using a clutch fan if I have room for it and a non-clutch mechanical fan if not. I would use an electric fan only as a last resort or for part time cooling in extreme circumstances. I will try a 180 thermostat initially. I don't think 215-220 is unreasonable as long the temperature remains constant, but you don't have a lot of wiggle room.

Vern,
Like I said, I haven't actually had it on the road yet. The Caddy's ran hot from the factory. It get's pretty warm out here in New Mexico and I remember from my time as a Caddy mechanic that 220 was pretty normal operating temp for the early 70's cars. The 500ci Caddy has a stock 7 (maybe 8?) blade flex fan and fan clutch. I'm hoping that will be enough. I won't be running AC for awhile. I would eventually like to add it but that will be in the future. Right now I just want to get the truck where I can drive it. I think that as long as I can direct all the airflow through the radiator I'll probably be ok
My dad has a 75 Dodge D200 truck with a 440ci, automatic that he uses as a work truck and hauls a large trailer with. It has the 436006 radiator in it and handles the heat pretty good.
I'm hoping to have mine back together and running in a month or two. All it takes is money and time..............

It's been a few years since I put mine back together, but I think there are slotted holes that should allow the air dam to move to either position.......... Barry can give you the numbers if I'm wrong.

Vern,
Great tip. I know the piece you are talking about but I hadn't considered it yet. I had the front clip on when I designed my new radiator mount but I figured I would deal withthat deflector later on.
Do you have any pics of it after the modification? Would be nice to see.
Let us know how the radiator works for you. I will be using a Cadillac factory flex fan as well as a cltuch fan and I don't think I'll need the elecric fan either.
Thanks again
Bobby
