Update
Finally got a completely rebuilt radiator with a quality copper core.
On Richard Coutts Smith's advice I went to Phil at Phoenix Radiators in Wodonga. Pleased with the result. Havent taken her for a run yet, but will let you know outcome. As you can see, have had coolant spitting out the top at stages. Bloody hell it makes a mess.....anyway, getting that sorted out as well.

Git 'er done...
Old radiator was either out of Carrier or a Lend lease ford. Bottom water outlets heading down instead of straight out of tank. So its great to get the right set up in there.
Have also found original Cab 12 Fan Shroud and support bar that runs through the Shroud so they will go on soon as well.

No doubt that was an expensive item Tony.
Bit of a bugger that you have to go interstate for a radiator! I do not give recommendations lightly, so hope you are as happy with the end result as I was. Rich.

Radiator
A quick update on the performance of replacement radiator. Very successful...engine is running cooler. Heat however is being blown onto engine covers. They are hotter then they ever were before.
Have installed fan shroud and support bar. This bar definitely reduces the flex in the cab so a good thing to have back in there.

Ariah Park Show
I was asked a couple months ago to take the truck out to a little struggling country show at Ariah Park. It was the show's centenary year so they were making a big effort.
Ian Styles brought out his superb example of an LP2 Carrier on the back of his '52 Ford troop truck. It was great to have an opportunity to check it out.
