Radiator Shell ID?
«

Can anyone tell me what year this radiator shell is? The one with the radiator in it. I'm thinking of using it because I like the way it looks better than the right one. Smoother rounder kind of a Chevy-Whippet.
Dang, they are right side up in my file? 27-28 Capitol?
Also looking at radiators. It looks like Ford T radiators are a similar size. This one says it fits both.

1927 Chevy car and trucks used them in 1928 also. If it's steel it's from a truck which is what it looks like. Cars had aluminum shell. Ron

Thanks, that is what I thought. I was told it was a '28 when I got it but it didn't look like the cars. I is steel, so is my other one. '25 frame, '26 body, '27 shell that works for me.

Great resource ED, It was right there all along. It looks like '27. The '28s there are different. Also the '26 roadster there has a painted shell.

I got some pretty good information for a guy on another site and I'm hoping he can measure his '26 radiator. It looks like Griffen may have some that will work, sorta'.
Do any of you know how to remove the Bow Tie emblem from these shells?

My old '29 Chevy coupe bowtie fell off, i recall looking at how it was installed. It had a gray colored hard thin blob on the back of emblem. Not sure if it was some kind of glue or maybe lead solder?

Ron is it something I said?
Sammons, I was wondering that or if it was a piece of tin or lead that was expanded on the back after being installed from the front. Some of the replacements have a threaded stud with a nut.
