Anti-freeze to use on an old classic truck 1953 International

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on August 9, 2021

What type of anti-freeze should I use on my 1953 international pickup truck with a stock radiator?

2 Answers

Regular ethylene glycol was the antifreeze used then as now. The corrosion inhibitors , and other additives have changed and vary from brand to brand , but basically the same stuff. In '53 there were a few still using methanol/alcohol , but it was a high risk of fire. Modern corrosion inhibitors focus on aluminum but should work on your copper and brass radiator and cast iron engine.

Ethylene Glycol ... you know ... the green stuff? Prestone. Peak. Walmart brand. Generic from Princess Auto. It will all work just fine.
