Vintage coolant recovery bottle F/S - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man · 03-01-2006, 12:12 AM

First of all.... I don't know if this is a dealer installed unit...or a parts store unit. It looks quite a bit like the old ones, but I have no clue. (leaning towards not the right style myself) The one illistrated is one of two I have seen. I don't have pics of the other style, but it looks something liek what I'm selling here.

Coolant recovery system, solid bottle with 2 fittings, one up top, one down low. Cap and metal frame are rusty. On the bottle, has a full line, an add line, and in large print;
U.S. PATENT NO. 3,614,982

Attached are two pics of it, and a picture (drawing?) from dealer books showing the bottle as installed by the dealer.

Asking 25 dollars shipped to lower 48 US address.... outside of there, add a $2.
PLEASE....no private messages nor E-mails to try and buy...in THIS thread only.

Hmmm, there was something similar to this that I removed from a 68 GMC core support that was mounted on the outer side of the core support near the radiator cap. If I still have it I'll check to see if they are the same. I removed it because it looked like an owner add on but who knows...I definitely don't

I have the same one except it was mounted on the inner fender Pass. side.

That's actually where this one was.. on the passenger inner fender.

My bottle is missing. Maybe I tossed it but the frame looks just like yours.

Longhorn Man · 03-05-2006, 07:08 PM

anyone?

Longhorn Man · 03-06-2006, 04:46 PM

offers?

What kind of shape is the bottle in? Is it brittle at all, any leaks? If not, I'll give you a $20 for it shipped to Greer, SC

Longhorn Man · 03-06-2006, 08:03 PM

Not brittle at all, no leeks found. (I have no way to pressureize it though) It looks pretty solid, and if it leaks, let me klnow and I'll make it all good. Cool?
PM on the way.
