    My CJ5 has the lower radiator hose attaching on the passenger side of the jeep. Every body keeps telling me I'm full of it, but reguardless thats the way it is and none of the radiators I get fit the housing for this jeep!It's not custom but I might have to get a custom one built. Any help on whats wrong, or right With my jeep?

    Yes, but cracked and broken. I had planned to sell this a while back and one day I moved something and the radiator slid off the hood and hit the floor. Broke the shroud and bent the lower passenger side outlet tube.

    Then this thread appeared and I offered it up. The tube could probably be repaired ot replaced at a good rad shop.

    See the 4 pictures at the bottom of this page: http://48cj2a.com/forsale.htm

    That radiator looks like the earlier, narrower :v6: radiator. they went to a wider one in '69 or '70, IIRC....

    Hate to bug you but can you measure the mounting holes and the dementions of the whole thing, and across the radiator from top hole to top hole on the mounting bracket? Don't want to waste time sending it if it's wrong, do we? too much in shipping for that.

    I've already got it boxed up and sealed for shipment.

    The radiator just fit in the box and it is 20" wide at the edges of the mounting flanges. It is sitting at an angle from bottom left to upper right at about 26" (bottom of tank to rad cap)

    I removed this from a 70 CJ5 with Buick V6.

    If you don't want it just say so as I do have another interested party that has been waiting patiently.
