Good call Merle, and I'm sure it simply dissolved away from lack of corrosion inhibitors caused by not changing out the fluid enough. It did its job for 60 plus years tho, so i can't be mad. I will have to check out the anode cap tho, that could save me some headaches down the road!!!

All good ideas Al, i think it came in the mail but will have to wait a few days to finish because I'm working another quick shutdown. Thanks man

I used one on a ranger i had, cheaper way to stop the squeal of the damn fan clutch

No coffee can exhausts on anything i own!!!! It's just a common and cheap car, and the radiator will fit. And everyone knows that's its flames and a spoiler that truly add the hp :lol:

I ended up doing some hardcore reading and ended up getting a welded aluminum radiator for a Honda civic.

We got some top shelf mechanics here, got a question. On my 52 case backhoe the radiator finally went. Got it pulled, there are 4 tubes that have blown right at the top. Brazed ends, think the core is aluminum but not sure yet. A new radiator is like 400, and its time i learn to fix these. Lol...
