A neighbor said he had a NOS radiator for my 1951 truck. It is an earlier radiator with 46 in raised numbers - also 3112130 appears. The inlet and return pipes are cast iron - not brass tubing. Upper is turned down - lower is turned up. Would this be an Art Deco radiator? It is copper except for the fittings. Pics are posted in old chevy group at ya---oo.com groups. Would like to identify this original piece. Found in a parts warehouse. Thanks, BW

I could not find the number in either my Chevrolet or my GMC master parts books. Perhaps it's for a Pontiac or Olds.

46 should be the year it was made.
I was just working on two harrison radiators for a 49, both had 49 stamped in the top tank, the side facing the engine.

I have the same radiator, sounds like a 46 to me.
The top is all brass and the fittings are cast on my'n. I have to have mine rebuilt so it can take the pressure of a 350. The top filler cap is about 3 inches in diameter and it sits on a cast elbow so I'm thinking it might have came out of a cabover but it is a 46. Picked it up for 50 buck in Winnipeg Canada, nothing really wrong with it.
