Hello, what's the best way to remove a radiator from a 1937 car?

I haven't done a 37. It's it's the same as my 38 you remove the hood and center brace. Remove the hoses, unbolt it and left it out the top.

@tiny thanks for your response! I think the baffle on top of the grill for our 37 has spot welds. I was inspecting it yesterday and noticed some spot welds. I think this is factory like the trucks, not sure.

Again, I don't know how this translates to the 37. The image below shows the upper baffle forward of the radiator. It's screwed on on the 38. The core support brace aft of the radiator is riveted on. I erred in not mentioning that the upper baffle must be removed as well. If the baffle on the 37 isn't removable I won't be any help. Good luck.

Interesting. First time I've seen that aspect of a 37. I wonder if there's room to rock the top of the radiator back with the fan removed? It about has to come out the engine side.

@tiny looks like it but not sure if water pump has to be removed as well. Ill try that first if not ill drill out the spot welds.
