Default radiators

hi Terence

I agree with Chris' comments on Ford SV V8 radiators . With most other old truck makes you can get away with a slightly shonky radiator , but with Side Valve Ford V8's you need a radiator in top condition . If the coolant level drops slightly , they will boil their little heads off .

The radiator in my 1940 C8 Chev is the factory original and it has held up quite well . I dont use the little truck that much and it runs well within the proper temp range . I will recore it when it drops its guts ...... I always put the anti rust green magic stuff in it to keep it happy .

Mike
