A friend and I just received some Model T parts but neither of us are experts so asking here what they are. By the way, I am new here but have been a member of the HAMB since 2004. First is a pickup bed. From what I have found online, it looks like a 26-27 but not sure, maybe an early 26? Second is a radiator which has Perfex on the front. Were these used in T's? From what I have found, Perfex made radiators for 32 Fords but I can't find anything older. I believe the radiator is brass. All the T radiators I have found say Ford on them. Any help with these two items is greatly appreciated!

The metal pick up bed is Model T.
Earlier version bed, as it has the front stake pockets up at the very front. This bed came out Aug 1925 and lasted to about Dec 1925 for the Improved Ford model, 1926-1927.
Later 1926-1927 Model T metal bed has the front stake pocket set back about 7". Change made because a wood stake did not fit as the body tub hung over that area of the bed.
Photo of later Ford T bed with stake pocket set back. Plus this later bed features a shield between the body tube curve and the bed, to more fill in the look of the bed to body interface.
The brass radiator is one of several mfg. of 'honey comb' style radiators sold aftermarket, as these types cost more than Ford tube and fin, and were found to resist freezing in the days prior to anti-freeze mix. That style would fit the Ford from 1909 to 1916.
