Anyone know what radiators fit a 53 Commander? I found this one on ebay but it is only for 49-52 Studes. Anyone know if I can modify the brackets to make it work?

Bear in mind that will take some modifications--both to the radiator and to the mount. I just installed one in my 53--some details are in my build blog linked below. It is getting very hard to find good ones--I had purchased two and both were beyond repair according to the local radiator shop once they got into it.
Others have had some custom made to fit--not sure about the cost but I know I would have saved quite a bit of time and effort if I had gone that way.

I Have found nothing tht just "Fits". You have a modified or want an original type? I just had an aluminum one built for my 53. My original rad is good, but I am installing a modified engine.
The one you are looking at on ebay is too tall for a c/k. You have a problem with modifying the core support on original car unless you modify front sway bar.Last edited by Flashback; 03-15-2014, 06:19 PM.

Hey Bob, could you let me know via a PM how much you want. I was going to PM you but it's not easy via the mobile app. I know Matt is waiting on that 53 I believe he bought from you.Andres Garcia
