Jerry Roberts Posted April 20, 2014 Report Posted April 20, 2014 I could have bought a made - to - fit radiator for my 1941 plymouth truck from Summit Racing for $776 . Instead I bought an aluminum universal fit on ebay , item number 350831437558 from autocity1958 . They are asking $199 OBO with free shipping . I am running a zero pressure system with an overflow tank from a 1960 ' s Corvet . The overflow tank is vented to the atmosphere . The overflow tank must be mounted higher than the top of the radiator . Is the overflow tank really needed ? ...perhaps not but it gives me peace of mind , the top tank of the radiator is not very large . I like the NO pressure system a lot . My truck runs at 160 degrees . Of course I had to spend some time looking through hoses at the local parts store to find something that would work , and devise my own mounting brackets . Quote
RodFru2u Posted April 21, 2014 Report Posted April 21, 2014 Real nice installation, that should keep the truck cool. Quote
Don Coatney Posted April 21, 2014 Report Posted April 21, 2014 Looks like it grew there. I would take a 200 bill over a 800 bill anyday Quote
