Title: Diesel/CUCV guys I need your help.
Post by: Engineer on March 02, 2017, 09:51:48 pm
 I'm looking to install a diesel radiator in my monster truck eventually. Does anyone have access to the part numbers stamped in the top brackets that bolt to the radiator support and hold the radiator in?

The 454s, like mine use a plate to cover the radiator and the rubber bushings pin into this. The diesels use two separate brackets and a plastic plate/shroud between. I need the part numbers off of these metal brackets if anyone can get them for me. There is a right and left so I need both part numbers.

Thanks, Eng  8)

There are no part numbers on the brackets themselves- I did find three letters-AAc, but nothing else. These are no longer available new either.

I just found these in a parts book-
Right side bracket: 14039950
Left Side Bracket: 14039949
Top Panel: 14039948

Nice job finding the #'s  Kaiser.
I looked at my truck's brackets this morning, and I couldn't see any #'s on them.  I was gonna take one off tonight to look underneath.
You beat me to it.
Now onto the next question for Engineer.  Are you going to search high & low for some NOS Ones (your thruck is worth it), or will used ones do?.  If you can't find used ones locally, I can grab some off 1 of my parts trucks and ship them to you.  All I need is an address.

This is what I pulled out of my CUCV graveyard.
If you need the 2 brackets & plastic top piece (that says 15W40 Oil on it) just let me know and I will mail it today.  The radiator shroud itself was cracked and not worth saving.

The used ones should clean up fine.

I already have the rubber isolators. I don't need the panel, or the shroud, for this project I'll be fabricating a custom shroud from 20ga sheet metal.
