2524968 Coronet Radiator

[B-Body Bruce]

I have a 2524968 Radiator. It codes out to be a 1965 Dodge Coronet 318 Automatic Transmission Radiator. This is the original radiator from my 1965 Coronet 500. The top and bottom tanks leak at the seams. The core appears to be OK .. But you might want to have it re-cored just to be on the safe side. I am asking $100 for it and would be willing to ship it at your expense. Hope one of you folks can use it....otherwise it go's in the dumpster...Thanks! I am located in SanTan Valley,Arizona

Measure the bottom tank,my 22" 4 core is 2 1/2" thick and may be whats needed to upgrade a 66 and later rad to 4 core,had to use a pre 66 lower tank to fit the thick core in my 68 Bee.The 68 383 2 core lower tank I have is 3/4" to 1" narrower.

Brother Beezee,
Bottom tank is 2 1/4" thick. 22" Wide, 22 3/8 deap, This radiator is a two row from the factory. Looks like there is enough room on the top and bottom tanks to make it a three row..but four would be pushing it.

My measurements could be off a touch as I measured the tank in the car,the radiator shop that built my rad told me I had to find a pre 66 for the wider lower tank,not sure of what is different from small block to big block tanks other than maybe lower hose size and location?

difference, exactly, the lower hose placement. BB is more outboard. recall the oil filter. And 68 lower hose went larger diameter than 65's.

The lower tank is much deeper..clearly you could see that it could handle another row....Again..this is a 65 Coronet Poly head 318 radiator...

Lower hose is drivers side...upper hose favors drivers side...
