I am working on a 1952 gmc 2 ton. 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. Thanks

if it's sitting right there take some measurements, likely the same mount brackets

I think the big bolt rads are deeper having one more row but otherwhise are the same size. I'm about 75% sure

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.

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.
