Radiator question.
I am trying to identify a radiator and was suggested I post here.
It is obviously from a flatty V-8 and appears to be from a truck.
The core measures 21 X 20 1/2 X 3 with 3 rows of tubes. The fill neck is larger than on my 52 F3 and the top hoses are larger.
Thanks Richard

I can tell you it's not a 35/36 PU radiator, on both of mine, the top tanks are just one curve/arch.
If no help here, post on fordbarn.com in the early V8 forum section, also might want to measure the inlet/outlet tube diameters.
What I can tell you, is I've seen FH V8 used radiators priced from 100-800, depending on what they fit.
I'll check my '42 later today, and see if it's similar.

With that crank hole going through the middle, I'm thinking larger truck, or older car...kinda leaning toward a truck though, since it has the similar looking radiator mounts and fan shround mounts as my '42,...also, your top tank is similar to my '42, but looks like it's "taller".
If it's a car...might be '41-up, since I think the radiator mount the same as the '42-up pickups do...all the older stuff used the rod to the firewall setup, IIRC.

52 F3, Try this web site and look at all the different radiators http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_drawings_rad-grills.htm
It looks like the 40-41 truck Radiators had this type of radiator with the crank hole in it.
