Hi All: I recently acquired a 1937 sedan 4 door humpback, but it is missing the radiator core supports. I have the radiator for it but cannot find anyone with the part to mount this radiator....any help will be appreciated.

The Ford V8's of the 1930's did not have a core support, that is a separate assembly that mounted to the frame, securing the fenders and radiator in place like modern cars.
The '37's had a stamped framework that was attached to the radiator tanks top and bottom with soldier.
The pix I have attached is of a '37 pickup radiator.

The part I need is apparently riveted to he frame horns and bolted to the cross member. Thanks for the pics but I have all of those parts.
 
Hi Bluecar: You are right; the part I need is riveted to the frame horns and bolted to the crossmember. I need to find someone that has vintage steel in their yard or someone that has street rodded their '37 and no longer needs these "elbows" for aradiator support.
 
Thanks....that is EXACTLY what I am looking for; can you remember or tell me where you got them or where I might find some for my car??
 
one more try adding a picture...
hey, it worked. The secret is that I was trying to add pdf's. When I tried a jpeg it worked, kinda makes sense, now.


I don't remember where I got the brackets, probably on Ebay. I just looked there and can't find any.

OK....thanks. If you do find someone or the brackets in your travels, please give me a heads up or tell the person to contact me.....
 
Mike,
I don't have these anymore (used them on my SD). BUT, I do have a rusty old 37 frame out back with brackets. If I was a really nice guy, I would grind off the bracket rivets and send them your way.....hmmm, send me a PM.

The file you are attaching is a pdf file and not a photo file. It attached as a pdf just like it should.:)
 
Thanks for the pics. I am new to this form of communication, and don't know what a PM is....clarify please. Pete says he has a pair in nice condition so don't grind off the rivets just yet.
