    The 64 A100 pickup I just bought (273/auto) has a mopar 4 core radiator. Since I'm just getting started with A100s . Is that what it would have come with ? I do know that the original engine in the truck was a slant 6( converted to V8/auto).
    Also what would be the correct core sizes (measuring just the core). Or overall measurements . The man I bought the truck from did not do the conversion.

    The VIN tag should tell you what came with the van.

    It came with a slant six, 3 speed manual, 3.91 . I do not yet know what the rear end ratio is at this point, may have been changed also( have not gotten that far) But the six was replaced with a 273. And the 3spd manual was replaced with a 727 short tail shaft automatic.

    I was at Norwalk, talked with a few guys Don't know there names. Some guy dark hair, glasses, gotee. and another heavy set man with a blue a100 pickup ( he moved it to a spot farther away from the rest of you guys after he washed it.  I spent quite a bit of time talking to Steve Scott about parts.
     You might remember me I was asking about air conditioning.Rolling Eyes  And I was there when the guy with the HotWheels pickup pulled the wheelie, on the pit row road near your groups location.
     And getting information about disc brakes.
     I was showing the guys pictures of my 64 A100 pickup when it was delivered (pictures were on my camera).
    Thanks for all the information.  Hope to have my pickup at next years Norwalk show. Shawn

    I looked at the disc brakes. I only asked Steve Scott about his system. Using 1987 Dodge Dakota 4X4 parts. Sounded good. Is that what most are using ? Are the pre made systems a better choice?
