Can someone tell me what the radiator capacity of a 1937 Chevrolet big truck radiator is? Thank You! See Facebook Page for Joe Fuchs to see more pictures of my 1937 Chevrolet 1/2 Ton Pickup

Standard core is 2" and heavy duty is 3 ". I would guess if sold in Texas the heavy duty would have been ordered. Last edited by Chev Nut; 10/01/17 06:33 PM. Gene Schneider

I'm going to guess about 8 quarts go in the block and about 8 quarts go in the radiator. Do you think that a reasonable guess?

Those figures are a guess on my part. I think the block holds way more than the radiator. You could take the top and bottom hoses off and close the outlets off and fill it with quart jars of water. That would tell you the full capacity of the radiator. Of course the top tank should not be filled more than about halfway. Further, I don't think Gene thought one through before agreeing. Charlie
