Can anyone here identify this radiator? Maybe out of a 3/4 ton or bigger truck?

I'm curious about the purpose of fitting on the radiator tank, and the reason for the top petcock.

There should be a part number on the tank. Perhaps you can cross reference it here:

Advertised as Harrison #3125505. I couldn't find it in any of the parts books I have, or the online versions. Still curious about the function of the fitting on the tank, to the left of the inlet in the photo.

Looks just like the one in my 53 3/4 ton GMC.

Thats the over pressure valve.
