AA truck radiator question
 

Is the radiator normally used in an AA wider front to back than a standard Model A radiator??

Yes and no. In April 1930 they went to a wider 4 row of tube radiator.

So, would the radiator on a 1931 measure wider than a standard A.
I have a radiator shield that measures about 4" on a top measurement. The other standard A's in the shop measure 3 1/4" on a top measurement front to back.
The radiator shield around the AA radiator has a big 1" gap in front of the radiator, making me think it is a car radiator.

This is a AA radiator shell that takes the thicker radiator, notice no widows peak.

The four core radiators are exactly the same width as the three core.

Hight and width are the same. Thickness is a different story.

I own a 31 AA and the radiator is thicker, thus the reason for the wider shell.

When you say that the shell is wider, what dimension are you talking about? Fore/Aft or side/side?

My shell measures slightly over 4". Other A cars in the shop measure 3 1/4" FRONT TO BACK
