Default 35 pickup radiator

I have a 35 pickup that needs a radiator. I will be putting an 8ba engine in the truck. Is there other rads that will fit or does it have to be from a 35 pickup

best to use a 35 radiator...you 'may' be able to use a 36 pickup radiator, I'm not 100 % sure though

35 and 36 radiators are different, mostly the side panels on the 36 are wider or deeper because the grill sits further forward. I believe the cores and tanks are the same, but not 100% certain on that. Maybe Don Rogers can answer that if that info is pertinent here.

For what it is worth, the 35 pickup and large truck radiators are the same except for the lower outlets. One turns up slightly while the other turns down slightly. I have a 35 big truck on my pickup. Just fitted a different hose.

Had a custom radiator with Spal cooling fan for my 39 and a stock flat tube for my 26 T, you won't be disapointed. Good luck and let us know how you make out with that 35.

Just realize that those custom shops frequently have a 10 week wait. Newc

When Brassworks did my radiator it took 8 weeks. The wait time is even longer now. But worth it, IMO.

Rods radiator out of Redding California would be a good choice. I had 4 ea made by them and was real happy with their product. Great company to do business with. They even make their own cores.
