Looking for a new direct stock replacement radiator for a 1936 Ford pick up. Does anyone have one that they decided not to use, or went a different direction on? Brassworks has no stock on hand, and is 4 months out which puts me into freezing cold season, which means I can't work on my stuff...

To expensive, but fortunately I do have a local source I can work with to repair this.

This is what is in the top tank, I don't think a flush is going to get this out. (see attached photo)

I'll have to pull the photos off of my scope from the radiator so everyone can see what that material is. Unfortunately there is no way to get at it to see exactly what it is.

Last night I flushed and back flushed until all of the water flowed nice and clear. I'm still concerned about the crap still stuck at the top of the tubes in the radiator. I'm really not sure what it is, I just know it's a grey color. The flow through the radiator is not terrible, but I don't...

I am thinking the water / vinegar mixed may have done the trick. For the first time I am seeing water movement in the tank that I have not seen before. The water I removed last night was an ugly orange gold color, and the water after I refilled went to kind of a grey / white color. I am going to...

I have a set of 160* brass thermostats on order for this, but as of now there are no thermostats.

I wanted to start an radiator flush discussion in the early V8 forum as I did not see one here, at least a very up to date one. I have a 1936 Ford pickup, and the radiator had a mouse nest in the top tank. I was able to get all of that flushed out no problem as it was not stuck in there. I have...

Is this the same Evapo-Rust you get from Harbor Freight? I have a similar problem with a radiator in my 36 pickup. Not fully clogged, just enough of that stop leak crap to cause an issue. I got rid of the mouse nest in the upper tank and that seemed to help some, but the stop leak is still...

That will work perfect, thank you!

I figured I'd bounce this thread back to the top so I can get going on this.

Hi Dave, that should work fine, it should get me fairly close for my project.

Anyone here in the group have a 35 Ford Deluxe with either the original upholstery, or original style replacement on the seats? What I am looking for are the measurements of the pleats. There should be a large one, 2 small, large, 2 small, and a large area on the seat. I can find photos and...

So I had a second look at this and put in the filler piece between the bed and running board and found that the running board was pushed down nearly an inch at the end. having a better look underneath I could see the metal edge of the board was pushed down. so I got my jack up underneath and...

First supplier I have seen with parts for the box with photos, that helps some. I do need the bracket and chain kits for mine, just plain if they are available as a kit. Finding a decently priced patch panel may be a challenge, the only ones I have found have been priced at over $400 for the...
