Default '32 4 cyl truck radiator?

Is this a radiator for a '32 4 cyl truck? It obviously doesn't have the side straps, but I think it's a 32. I am going to list put it up for sale, but want to make sure that I list it correctly.

Thank you.

I agree that it looks like a '32 4-cylinder radiator, which except for the late-in-the-model-year release through service of a radiator with an extra row of tubes largely intended for use on big trucks were all the same, passenger car, commercial vehicle, and big truck. The cap on your radiator looks to be that used on most '32 commercial vehicles and all big trucks. If it is in good shape and it's outer exposed surface is stainless steel, it is almost worth its weight in gold and at a minimum worth many times the value of the radiator, which is minimal given it condition.

what are you asking for it? I need a cap, you can keep the radiator, as it looks as though it needs a lot of work. Thanks.

That isn't the correct radiator cap. That was just put on to keep the mice out.
