Default radiator

I have two extra radiators for my 34 pickup and was thinking of selling them. The problem is I have no idea what a fair price would be, if they are worth anything?
One appears to be in better shape but I would be interested in any opinions.
Thanks

I could probably use them as I am not sure of the condition of the one in my truck. I am the wrong guy to tell you what they are worth though. I wish we were not so far away from each other. Roger

They look like they need re-coring IMO,so value would be in the side straps and tanks.I'm guessing $100 max.

I also have a 34 pu truck radiator that a friend asked me to sell for him. This one took a hit from a generator mounted fan that came loose, when the pulley broke, taking out some of the first line of tubes. It's probably repairable, or definitely a good candidate for recoring. The location of fill neck had been change for using a pressurized cap. I too have hesitated to list this for sale because I have no idea of its value, so maybe I'll learn from this post.

ps...this is a prime example of what can happen when a fan mount generator pulley has its ID bored out to fit a later generator with larger OD shaft, making the pulley ID wall thickness too thin and weak.

I have had a 39 - 41 122" truck radiator on sale on Ebay for about a year. It is in good working condition. Granted, the vehicles it fits are in much less demand, but it did not sell at $100, or $75. I just want to find a good home for it.

So, good luck.

As I recall the 33-34 radiators have the depression in the top tank to clear the fan. the tanks and side straps should be worth about $100. No one makes a repo radiator with the depression in the top tank.

TJ, Brassworks makes 33-34 radiators with the fan relief depression.

The radiator I posted pictures of above was replaced by a new Brassworks radiator. On this replacement I got the owner the correct generator pulley to use that required no ID modification to fit his generator, so the bottom of the top tank on Brassworks radiator must have been indented to clear the fan.

Thank you for all the input.
I will look at the top tank to verify I have the correct 33-34 radiator. Then list them for sale, hate to have to store them for another 30 years.


Thanks again

I have two "37 and two '35 trucks and they all have the cutout in
the radiator. I also have two spares and one has no cutout.

The '39 1 ton had a cutout radiator(no idea if it was original) but upon
checking fan clearance, you could have thrown a cat thru there. So, we
replaced that beatup radiator with a non-cutout one with a new core.

Is it possible that way back when, the replacement parts manufacturers
made a standard replacement cutout radiator to service all the vehicle
years that used a two outlet tank (33-39) ???
