1935 ford Radiator Support Rods

There are 2 types depending on fire wall end I believe. Also there are 2 different radiartors --Large top tank or the standard or most common .
 
They list those same ones for a 37 pickup too and the pickup one are only 26 inches. There is no threads at 26 inches where they say to cut them

As Kerk said, there are two different cowl end configurations and two different lengths depending on which of two top radiator tank sizes you may have. Long rods = small top tank and shorter rods = large top tank. You need to do a little homework to determine which length/cowl bracket configuration rods you need. If you are building a high point show car you should try to find the original correct length rods. If you are building a driver, you could buy after market rods and cut or rethread as necessary to make them fit properly.
 
Thanks John.
I am looking for the original ones, and as you mentioned for a Short Radiator.
I believe the ones I am after are 32 1/2" long.
I could get them at Macs as mentioned by Ken ct. But trying for original ones at the moment.

Pete, besides the different lengths, the cowl ends are also different. One type has threads starting at the end and extending up the rod approximately 2". That rod would have two round rubber washers, two flat steel washers, two lock washers, and two hex nuts. This hardware soft mounts the rods to the cowl mounting brackets. The other type rod has a carriage bolt head formed on the end, threads traveling up the rod from the carriage head about one inch, two round rubber washers, one flat steel washer, one lock washer and one hex nut. If you have or could borrow a copy of the Early Ford V8 Clubs 1935-'36 Book, all of this and much more is covered in detail.
