Radiator question

[CO-Bronco69]

I have a 1969 project Bronco (U15) that came with 2 radiators included, uninstalled. What is odd is that neither has a fill cap. Is there a chance that neither is a correct radiator for that year Bronco?

Early Broncos had the brass reservoir mounted to top front of block.

Yes - could've been a '66-'68 configuration with the remote fill tank that doran4x mentions.

I have one that started out life as one of those I think. Was re-cored with the later model staggered 4-row core and had a neck added.
Reason I think it was one of the early tanks was that with the neck mounted you could not install a radiator cap! The upper mounting clamp was too close because the tank was so shallow.

I have seen tanks that had what looked like a circle that was capped off, where a filler neck would otherwise go. Maybe they used that to retrofit the neck and it didn't work. So I had it extended up so it cleared the mount just to do it.
I don't really need the radiator, so will find someone local that can use it.

I am in the market for an early V8 radiator with no radiator cap provision.

If anyone has an extra...I could use it.
