I ran into a friend at a car show today who asked me to help him identify a NOS radiator which he had. The radiator appears to be stamped with part # A1461436. He was of the opinion that it was from a B-series Dodge truck, but it has a curve in the inside of the top radiator tank which I have not seen before and the top flow outlet looks different to the trucks which I have worked with here. Please see photos attached..

That radiator appears to be from a passenger car such as a 51-52 Dodge Plymouth or Desoto Diplomat with the long (25 inch engine) such as those built in Canada.  The curve is to clear the fan blades and the off set top connection accommodated the upper hose from a fitting which points straight up from the engine head.  The part # is not one I am familiar with, possibly an Australian supplier?

 

Truck radiators had 3 mounting holes each side.
