I have this unidentified Ford V8 radiator that came with some parts that I purchased years ago. Can anyone tell me what year/model Ford V8 this radiator will fit? Thank you!

It looks like 33-34 Ford car radiator. The bracket on top around the water inlet is used to mount the grill top and support rods to the firewall.

I agree with Larry.

The bottom plate on 33-34 passenger car radiators is riveted and soldered to the bottom tank . This one is not . The rest looks normal ??????? The upper grille brackets look like normal 34 car ! Maybe someone messed with the bottom plate ?

34 Car radiator. 33 would have hood corner pockets formed into the top of the steel brackets.

Thanks for the help guys! Someone else told me that it was a '34 radiator but I wanted to pass it by some of you to confirm. I rescued a very rough 35/36 Ford PU about six years ago and the owner gave me that radiator when I bought some other parts that he had. He said it came out of the PU but I wasn't sure if he was serious or not.
