Fingers crossed that it will be OK! It would be nice to keep the original.
Probably a hairline split in a sweated solder joint. We can hope.

HE HAS RESTORE 1/2 DOZEN 30-50'S AUTO AND TRUCKS IF ANYONE CAN HE WILL
Not many true radiator shops left. They'll get you fixed up and back on the road in no time.
I am in love with the flat head V8 boss boss bike that Cliff's auto built.
BAD NEWS
Cliffs called radiator is just too corroded to try to fix> Dam on the outside it looks rather pristine but what do i know he is the one that fixes them and said he cant
jusr spoke to these folks https://www.championradiators.com/Wi...ator-1951-1953 and their smallest one is still full 4 3/4" to wide bracket to bracket... and the core size is the same as the bracket size on the jeep way way to wide, he said quite frankly yeah could get a custom one made but in reality it would start at 600.00 and go from there
sounds like kaiser only way to go to get a serviceable radiator groan 600.00 us dollars
Dag -nab- it.. or something like that.
Talking to the radiator like a Senior Chief or Sgt Major dressing down a stupid E6 wouldn't make it be any different, so I won't waste my breath.
Yeah, it's a kick in several places to find something like this.
If there is a bright side, you won't have a corroded radiator that WILL split out in the middle of a parade or a trip over to the base on a hot summer day.
Good steering, tight seals on the drive line and a tight radiator. You're getting close!
Guys, this pneumonia or whatever it is has flared up, my Dr wants me to go to ERE, i asked him woould i probably get admitted again he said most certainly... so be gone for a while, gone but not out
