gmtreit Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Anyone make a radiator cap or rebuild kit for a 33/34 pickup ram ornament. I have 2 ornaments, the one is missing the radiator cap completely and the other has broken tabs that hold it on the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke01 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I took a gas cap and removed the fastener and attached it to the radiator cap on my 1933 Dodge. It works well. Zeke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have a kit for the repair. Do these look like the parts that you need? Edited August 2, 2023 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmtreit Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) The one you posted seems to be a common style too. My other cap has that but the center piece is rusted away . There doesn't seem to he a hole lot of room between the radiator cap and grill shell Edited August 2, 2023 by gmtreit (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You willing to sell me the repair kit? If not I understand. Maybe we can get some good dimensions and I'll make new brass cups and make the tabs out of stainless.
