Maybe you can tell why I think it's been modified, plugs have been welded or brazed to cover up the driver side hoses, plug on the top end tank and a neck added. Construction seems remarkably similar to the 35 roadster here so I want to say it could have been a truck rad. It doesn't quite fill up the back grille sh*ll though. Like it is missing some mounting tabs. For mock up I'll make some tabs if this is the correct rad or I'll have to keep looking for a rad

It took a few days and a few attempts for Napa to pull it in from another store but they finally found it and I got the sl3131 this morning. So I'll have the Hub's back on today. Thanks for the clarification on the other oils. Another thing I found a radiator today in grandpas parts pile, I saw it before a year or so ago and I must have forgotten about it because it only had one inlet and outlet so I set it in my mind as a trashed model a rad. Pulling parts today for the parking brake I noticed it wasn't a model a rad. Upon a closer look it looks like it's a modified flathead rad. And fits pretty nicely in my 35 pickup grille. Without a known 35 rad I'm not sure if I'm just missing parts. It may be fixable but for the moment I just want to use it to mock up the front end, I'll attach some pics

go to a NAPA for the CRC Sta-Lube SL3131 they have it or can get it. order online if you have to--this is what you need for the rear wheel bearings-accept no substitute. for front wheel bearings use any good drum brake wheel bearing grease. use 85W140 for the trans and the rear end, don't overfill just to below the fill plugs. use a mixture of 1/2 to 1/2 synthetic grease/85w140 doping in the u-joint housing area and in the steering box--I use an air operated grease gun to put this in the u-joint and a squeeze bottle to put into the steering box
