I just got it running today found out that the radiator leaks very very bad. I have a radiator from a 1952 GMC 1/2 ton sitting in the shop and was wandering if it was the same size as the 2ton. Hoping someone here can let me know.

I'm about 75% sure | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,903 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,903 | 1/2 ton up to around 3 ton will all bolt in the same place. The larger trucks have thicker cores toward the front. It was common for us to bolt larger radiators in pickups 50 years to try to keep them cool. Your 1/2 ton will fit and probably keep the 2 ton cool unless you plan on working it like it was 50 years ago. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 94 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 94 | Thanks for the replies, i think i might use the 1/2 ton rad for for a short while until i can find a 2 ton rad or get mine fixed. | | |
