This radiator is intended as a drop in replacement for the 1938 and 1939 Ford "Tonner." In 1938 a middle weight truck was introduced with a single rear wheel and 122" wb.  Most of them were sold as an 'Express', with an 8' pickup box or a 8' stakebed.  It was also the last year for manual brakes for Ford and the first front opening truck hood in the industry. 

Order the Truck and set-up for the 85hp flathead engine in its production year.  It includes the fan relief in the top header and straight lower hose connections but does not include the crank relief unless requested.  If you have modified or altered your vehicle in anyway, please order from the bespoke radiator section.  If you wish to restore your OE radiator using your OE tanks, brackets and/or castings please visit the restoration section of our website to begin the process.
