  Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum so please cut me some slack. I am from England, I have a 1936 Ford truck being rebuilt in Wichita Kansas. Can anyone recommend a high quality USA made reproduction radiator which is a direct replacement ? or does anyone have an original they wish to sell ? Excellent site.
Mike

  Hi Mike--

Welcome!

Click over to the blue section of your screen, click on "Links", and then "Vendors". There is a radiator firm shown - Brassworks. Their website shows a radiator for your 36 pickup. Total cost $1,349.00.

I have never bought anything from Brassworks. Perhaps some of my fellow Club members can chime in about this company for you.

Good luck with your restoration.

Tom

  If you have the upper and lower tanks, you can have a new core installed.

Brassworks makes a reproduction radiator for the 1936 1/2 ton. I have never used them, but they do have a good reputation.

I have a recored radiator from:
Independent Antique Radiator
200 Berg St, Algonquin, IL 60102
(847) 458-7400

It does a very good job of keeping my Mercury's engine cool. Your restorer should be able to find a good radiator shop locally.

  Joe's Antique Auto is my go to guy for parts for my '39 p/u. I've never bought a radiator from him but I bought the radiator for my '39 p/u with an 8ba from Brassworks. Excellent radiator and Lee at Brassworks worked with me to insure it was exactly what I wanted/needed since the 8ba is a bit different than the stock '39 flathead. IMO you can't go wrong with a Brassworks radiator. I bit pricey but excellent quality. There is a 2 -3 month lead time or maybe longer but worth the wait. Again IMO.
