1969 metuchin nj 428 cj radiator id
« on: December 10, 2018, 10:06:44 PM »
Anybody got original id on the nj 69 cj rads as i got one in a car here with the # stamped over the added tag & i seen them tags on service nos rads.  I would think the nj rads were same as dearborn but dont have anything local to check all dearborn cars in my area. I know san jose used west modine rads & they were different? thanks

Believe they (NJ) had the same supplier as Dearborn. Just got home so I'm playing catch up so I'll look through the pictures and see what I can offer as far as details from my collection.

Just noticed that there are no 70 NJ cars int he unrestored picture section. Will need to work on that too  ::)

I looked at a low mile nj 69 cj & rad is like dearborn stamped so i think the stamped over tag is a replacement put in this nj car long ago even thou this car is only a 2 owner very original nj cj  & i got another stamped over tag cj rad here but that tag is different again in my rad inventory of 25 rads i looked thru today.

Ed checked and I could find no clear pictures of the side strap area or the markings for a 69 NJ built car with the big radiator to help. Sorry

Thanks jeff  but i checked some original nj cars and they are the same  rads as dearborn like i thought and i am going to take the stamped over added tag off this rad & see whats stamped under it if anything or maybe a misstamp that was corrected.
