1934 Pickup Radiator Cap Question
I am in the process of building a 34 pickup which started life as a 34 BB heavy. When I first got the truck, the frontend was completely disassembled and in boxes. I was working on the grill yesterday and fitted the trim and emblem on the grill but when I set the radiator cap on top of the grill it just seemed like it might not be the right one. The cap has a slight difference in the edge detail and it almost seems like there should be another piece under the cap.
Any insight or pictures of a 34 radiator cap and trim would be greatly appreciated. |

Looks like a '34 passenger car cap, not the commercial/truck version.

Here is what my radiator cap looks like. I believe the trim and cap are original, however I had them replated.

Re: 1934 Pickup Radiator Cap Question
Thank you gentleman. I think based on the picture from Scott and the suggestion from David, I have a car version. The hunt begins for the right one.

Check with Bob Drake dealers such as Third Gen Automotive to see if they have one of the reproductions in stock. The original part number was 46-8100-B.

Re: 1934 Pickup Radiator Cap Question
I agree with Dave: a car cap and not 46-8100-B.
