3 core radiator application.
I can see none of them have been recored , core sizes would help. I recall re coring many rads in the early-mid 80's when I was just a teen working in a local rad shop every summer.
Core sizes would help me, but if I had to take a wild guess, the one against the wall would be G.M., the other two look to be Ford, but this is just a guess not be able to see the complete rad upper and lower tanks with core sizes.

Cool, they still have the tags on them! The middle one codes are familiar, although I can't remember for sure what the application is. I believe its 1971-72 Cutlass/442. Yes, please post how many rows are in the cores.

I don't remember recoring many rads older than 73 back then, I'm sure I did but don't remember. I did so many mid to late 70's everyday.
I'm just looking at the top tank height, the trans cooler positions and the overflow pipe to try and determine at this point .

came from various year Cutlass/442's that had been parted.
I believe the middle one is from a 70 Cutlass/442/Vista. The FE code is listed in the 70 inspectors manuals. The other two have a different style metal tag that is not consistent with the ones I have seen on 70-72.
What is the letter between the C A on the FE radiator?
Hope this helps.

Rad Code Tags
As Shifty Sidney pointed out the "FE" rad code tag is for 1970 models. I believe it is also correct for 1968 and 69 model years. The specific application is "V02", "Y72" and AC when it is a 3 core. The tag will have 2 sets of 2 letters. It will tell you the corresponding tanks that go with the tag. The driver side will always be "IA" or blank and the passenger side will be to each application. In this case it is "CA" As pointed out earlier the number between the "CA" is the month made. The number on the tag is the transmission cooler size or type. It is an internal Harrison radiator number.
The "ZL" rad code tag is not a Oldsmobile rad tag for 1965-1972. It is a newer style rad because of its slant neck and closer together transmission lines. The rad code tag however is not how Harrison made tags from 1968-1972. The "FT" rad code tag is for 1965-67 330CI and AC vehicles.
