When I bought my pickup it had a radiator in it that seems to fit well, except for one small problem, the lower outlets are about 1 1/2" lower than the water pump inlets.

Sure enough, I pulled it out and it is (as per the chassis manual" for a 1938 truck (L81T-A146) and not for a "commercial".

I am assuming the two rads are built differently, but this one fits and is in very good condition.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
George
