'54 Skyliner radiator

I think that's only one that is aluminum with an oem looking top tank. Especially at that price.
I actually bought the same one for my wagon. I have not had a chance to install. But will be doing so before my Vegas trip. I also was looking to install a shroud at the same time and the companies that make them are not making late 50's Ford custom shrouds.
You might as well update to the steel 6 blade fa while you are at it.

Any other radiator with the oem look will be 600-800 dollars. Also reviews is the same amount.
 
I found a 6 blade on Larry's for $60. Is that what you found?

Also, the measurements aren't quite right on the radiator. Is the fitment good?
 
I bought a non black aluminum one from them for my '54 Ranch Wagon. Fit fine. There was some minor shipping damage to one of the hose openings which I resized with no issues. They knocked 50 bucks off. Car is down for major body work so no long term experience but I'd order one again if needed. JMO
 
On the subject of radiators. Most places list the 56 radiator as type1 or type2. My original was a 6 cylinder radiator and is long gone. How does one know which type I would need?Thanks

Concours Parts lists type 1 and type 2 and show the mounting brackets on the sides are different. They don't show prices in their catalog though. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow.
 
Be careful about saving a few bucks. Can be more headaches than what it is worth.

My 57 has a radiator I got from Concourse Parts (before new ownership) and it fit like a glove. I upgraded the radiator, because mine seemed like it didn't hold enough coolant when I pulled the hose. I also bought the shrould, and the 6 blade fan. I think I had a short spacer from Speedway in my pile of goodies I used to maximize the fan depth.

It was nice not having to relocate mountings, or fluid lines.
 
Concours copper, original looking radiators are about $800 with shipping. I've decided to hold off on either of them until I get my tax bill. I'm leaning toward the Concourse because it is US made.
