1936 Ford Car Radiator Reproduction (Model 68)
36 Ford Radiator Hand Fabricated tank STOCK
This is a complicated fabrication with many hours devoted to hand forming the top tank to replicate the OE die stamped pattern used in 1936. It is intended as a drop in replacement for the 1936 Ford car with a B4 stamped in the top tank and set-up for the flathead engine in its production year with 15-1/2" fan with a hub measuring 1 3/4" from base to center rivet. If you own a radiator with a 68 "tag" soldered to your top tank contact us before ordering.
The front corner of the OE design core is cut at an angle. The angle permits the radiator to advance forward toward the grille. Generally, we cut and rake teh fins and wrap the corner however if you wish for us to hand shear this corner for a reproduction or restoration, please communicate when ordering and we will bill for the service..
If you have modified or altered your vehicle or prefer the simple (economical) deep drawn top tank of our street rod version, please order from the bespoke radiator section. If you wish to restore your OE radiator using your OE tanks, brackets and/or castings please visit the restoration section of our website to begin the process.
Made in the USA
We make to order. Please allow adequate time for us to build.
Build time estimates [Feb 2025]
Brass/Black Model Ts
Our longstanding foundry (supplier) closed and all production was shifted to a neighboring foundry. Apparently many of the closed foundry's workers were ineligible for rehire by the new foundry due to more aggressive immigration enforcement and the union has no employees to provide. As of 2-20-25, we should receive castings in March 2025 and can resume production then.
In the interim, we have been working with our one-off foundry to have pattern boxes made and these are trickling in in smaller batches and we will produce what we can.
Model As 5-6 weeks
Heater cores ~6 weeks

Tricky customs & complicated restorations ~16 weeks months
We appreciate your patience as we continue to recruit and train new fabricators and manage the labor shortfall our country has been experiencing.
