Radiator frame hole location, 39 peeekup

[39portlander]

I am posting these for Ken who was asking which holes to use for mounting his radiator, I never really new the reason for the two different holes but I used the forward holes for my installation.

Maybe the two closer to the motor were for a 60hp or inline flathead six, hope this helps. Scott

On my 36 frame the hole closest to the firewall was for sedans and the one closest to the front bumper was for pickup truck. Not sure about 39. From yourr photo, maybe the same reason.

Lawson has got it right, passenger car versus pickup.

I have a 81C radiator which I think is correct for the 39 pickup, but the holes are bigger than the spring and without a washer it goes right through.
