Flathead V8 Radiator ID
Please see photos. I presume this is a flathead V8 radiator. Based on where I found it, I suspect it may be from a truck application, but really not sure at all. Can anyone ID this thing before I take it to the scrap yard?
Thanks |

Re: Flathead V8 Radiator ID
Looks like a '37 Ford truck V-8 radiator. There should be a number embossed on the right hand side, top tank, on the fan side of the radiator. 1937 Ford 1/2 ton V-8 truck was embossed with "77", I believe. An expert will be along shortly, and give everyone a definitive answer. Don't scrap it somebody con use it.

Yeah, please don't scrap it . . . somebody could use it and it isn't like there are a bunch of aftermarket ones available.

Never seen a Ford with that top hose layout. Probably been modified

Re: Flathead V8 Radiator ID
Yes, but all means, don't scrap it. I'll take it off your hands if you want. I currently live in Virginia but return to my native Mass at least once a year and always attend Hershey. Send me a PM if you want to sell it.

Re: Flathead V8 Radiator ID
Looks pretty cosher to me. (Not 35 or 36 commercial, however.)

The radiator is embossed with the number 77 and a letter D beneath it.

Re: Flathead V8 Radiator ID
I believe that would indicate a 1937 Ford truck with a 221 c.i. engine. I upgraded my '37 1/2 ton to a '38-'42 V-8 and I would have been thrilled to have had that radiator. I started with atop and bottom tank and the side straps.
