radiator issues
just purchased a 1968 or 69 f250 4x4 with 4speed and 360. Can someone tell me which radiator this truck is most likely to have. It is leaking real bad and would rather just replace with a new one.

Another way to find out which radiator you have is to ID the fan shroud, as it's radiator specific. Look at the upper left front corner of the shroud for a Ford ID number, similar to: C8TA-8146-S. Note: if the truck has the Super Cooling radiator, the radiator support is different.

thanks
Thanks for the information guys. Bought this truck to use around the farm, but now I,m thinking, I might put a little work in it and see what happens. There will surely be a lot more questions down the road.

mine was not made in Indonesia, it was the same exact radiator that i would have gotten from kragen. unless kragen get their radiators from Indonesia.

Don't be surprised.
Get your radiator recored at a large local radiator shop, will cost more but what's your engine worth?
Check out the thread that supplies radiators then read the "more information"
about it may be plastic/aluminum.
At least you will not have a problem with a leak as water and rice go together,
"Got Rice?".
