1949 commodore 8 rad needed

Does anyone if the Aluminum ones on the internet that fit from 52-54 would work?
thanks in advance

    All stepdown radiators 48-53 will interchange . 1954 has slightly different locations for connecting it to the U channel but it will work. The thing you need to watch out for is using a Pacemaker or Wasp( 232)   radiator in a LWB Hudson. They have less cooling capacity than the bigger cars (262,254,308) Generally speaking 48-51 have the square tops and 52-54 are the round top radiators. The 8 cylinder cars don't use the small shroud on the front tie panel since the engine sits a bit more forward than the full oil pressure engines so the 'L' brackets for attaching are reversed .
