JerseyHarold Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 I've got a '49/50 Plymouth/Dodge radiator and am trying to pin down if it is a direct-fit into a '51/52 P-23. Has anyone ever attempted this swap and did it work without modifications? Thanks for your replies. Harold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyHarold Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Thanks, Bob. Looks like it just got added to the 'sell' list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plyroadking Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Does a 53 fit in a 51/52? I might still have one out in the shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Nope... 1953-54 radiators are all by themselves too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpollo Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I have put a 50 radiator into a 51 but it was a long time ago and as I recall the top tank comes very close to the hood.This was a Canadian radiator and they are not the same as USA models. Even so, I'd give it a trial fit before selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyHarold Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 1 hour ago, oldmopar said: Do you need a 51-52 radiator or just looking for info on the 49 Ed, Hope all is well. Just looking for info. This is a spare I bought several years ago figuring it would fit, and now it looks like it won't. I have one radiator for each Plymouth and if either one starts leaking I'd probably go with a repro. Thanks for asking. Take care, Harold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmopar Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Was doing some clean up on the computer and found a link to this site. It's been a long longtime since I visited here, saw you post . Don't visit here much sold most of the mopars only have the 69 W300 left.
