Default Re: 1939 Pickup Radiator

Hello, I faced the same situation with my '37 1/2 ton when I changed the V-8 sixty to a 239 engine. I was able to find good tanks and side straps, I formed new brass upper and lower header panels, found a shop to punch the panels and fabricate a new core. Radiator cools VERY well! I did the same thing for my '32 passenger car, here are a couple images of the header panels. It ain't easy and it ain't cheap, but I never worry about the cooling.
