Hey Guys, i've had this rad laying around for years and just wondering what it came off of. It's definately an early (pre-69) big block rad with the lower driver side inlet and rounded upper tanks. The upper hose is slightly offset in the center of the upper tank. We had this rad on a members car to breakin his engine but he has since gone to an aftermarket aluminum rad so this one found it's way back home. 

The stamp reads AB 2524968



Thanks, Ron

It fits a 1965 B body with a 273/318 automatic.

Thanks Troy....that was quick ! 

So, it's a smallblock rad huh ?  I'm wondering why the lower inlet is on the driver side ?

I have the same rad. behind my shop. 65' Coronet 440 w/318 wide block.

Take a close look at the lower tank neck. Many rad guys use to move the inlet from the far edge closer to the center. I believe it was to make use of the rad. with a BB or RB and get around the oil filter.

Have Mike check the numbers on his UTAH car. It has a 361 in it and the rad looks just like mine.
