Thread: '32 ford truck

Certainly can't hurt any. If you have ever had a car that was running warm, and you turned on the heater, it would usually drop the temp somewhat. I had one start running warm on the interstate one day, and kicked the heater on full blast, and the car ran normally till I could get home and fix the water pump problem.

You are in a good area to pickup airflow there, which is why I put my tranny cooler exactly where you have yours mounted. But with only a 4.5 inch chop, and a quality radiator, you should not have any problem anyway. The '32 radiator in my '27 was chopped 8.5 inches, and was on the edge, but was ok with an electric fan.

I hope your are right, I just look at that Little radiator and sweat ! I will yank that thing off in a minuet if it doesn't need it.

Mounted the taillights today. Just used some 1/8" plate and some aircraft winged tubing and welded some studs on them.

Got the fan shroud kinda glued together for the first fit.

I started this thread in the Deuce Den , now it is in Hot Rod Talk how does that happen? I don't care just curious.

Thought I would ask this again.
