Why produce a higher flow radiator in a 1928-1929 Ford Model A? Well because we had a customer call convinced that flow was the cause of his Burtz Block overheating on the highway when it was over 90o in Texas.
This core can pass 40% more coolant and has 73.4% more fin surface than the 1928 Highland Plant Ford design.
Features of the radiator include:
Our 1928 and 1929 Model A and Model AA truck reproductions are aftermarket products. The design is based upon original drawings provided by Ford and original radiators we have collected over the last 47 years. Each radiator is tested with an original Ford shell to assure general fit, appropriate neck placement and accurate mounting bracket placement. Each 1928-1929 radiator is also tested with an original 1928 steel fan shroud to assure fitment. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the fit, finish, design or craftmanship the radiator may be returned to us postage pre-paid in new and re-saleable condition for a refund.
1928-1929 Fords had many changes, read about the ones that cause people problems. If you have modified or altered your vehicle in anyway, 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 (and made with 99.99% North American sourced materials!)
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
Model A and 32 Ford Street rods 6 weeks
Common street rods ~12-15 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.
