Default Re: 1940 ford radiator from Eckler antique ford parts

I ordered mine from Bob Drake just before Christmas and it shipped in 2-3 days, so I'm surprised they are giving you such a long lead time. Maybe I got the last one.

I've noticed that 1940 parts are rapidly disappearing and most are marked discontinued.

I think we are running off old stock that was made 10 - 20 years ago on a lot of these items, and now that they are gone, there is no market justification to replace them.

As for the radiator itself, it looks like a well built unit, but i haven't installed or tested it.
I noticed that for my pickup the mounting holes from the radiator to the frame are 1/2" too narrow (and my frame is straight) but that may be because my truck is Canadian.
