Default Re: Can anyone identify this radiator?

Robert is correct about the split core for '39. Not so say that the core was replaced and a split core was not used. It might fit a '38. It sure looks like a '37 to me though.

Look how the intlet necks on the top tank angle towards the center of the heads. If they were under the tank they would be more straight down for water pumps on the heads. This radiator suggests water pumps on the block and water inlets on the center of the heads. That puts it at 1937-1938 in my opinion. The small brackets on the sides of the straps at the top are where the hood sides attach. It also has the side air deflectors like a '37 radiator. There would be a center air deflector mounted to the grille on a '37. That part keeps you from seeing through the grille from side to side. Often missing and mostly for looks.

Can you show us a photo of the number that is molded into the top tank?
