Have the radiator shop put a pressure neck on for a truck. It is a larger cap. Grind the 4 ears off the cap. Take the power wagon cap and remove the inside of it where you only have the shell left. The shell will pop right over the new cap with the ears gone. If your motor is a new style with a steam hose, be sure and have the put a steam hose fitting in the top tank. I had my tanks reversed and the brackets reversed for more clearance for my fan. I had to shim the radiator to get it centered in the hole in the sheet metal. It turned out perfect. The only thing is that the overflow is right up under the cap and if it overflows it will run on the sheet metal. You should have him solder in a overflow tube and have him bend it right next to the tank so you won't have the problem I had. John
