Are all Studebaker car radiators the same width?
The way I install the radiators in my '53-4-5 Stude C-K modified's is I use two cradles to make one 5-6 inches taller, drop the cradle down and swing the bottom of the radiator and cradle forward after trimming the lower air scoop enough. The top of the rad. goes back toward the water pump. All this means I can't run a fan on the water pump so I must use an electric fan (no shroud needed). All this work to go from a 15 inch tall radiator core to a 21 inch tall core.
What all this typing (I hate typing almost as much as I hate talking) leads to is, I need two radiator cradles and I need to know if I can use units from a Lark or earlier sedan or must I use C-K units.
Here's a '53 I did a few years ago.
