The 1 1/2 tons with a 131" wb or 157" wb, simply called 'trucks' or "big Trucks'.
This radiator is intended as a drop in replacement for the 1936 Ford 1.5 ton commercial truck [51-8005] produced in Dearborn, MI or Green Island, NY or Long, Modine or McCord supplied radiators. It is set-up for the flathead engine in its production year and includes the fan relief in the top header/rear of tank and the lower hose connection castings are formed metal and angle down. Please indicate if you would like formed tube, use of your OE castings or newly re-casting pieces when ordering. The tank will permit crank passage but a formed tank and bar for crank relief are only done on request.
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.
1936 and 1935 Ford truck shells are often interchanged but they have design differences. The most obvious is the shell side section depth. 1936 is ~8" and 1935 is 6 1/2".
