I looked at my 1961 parts book and there were actually three different part numbers listed in Group 1.277. I then plugged the numbers into the forum's online parts database. However, the results were kind of odd.

538585 P/8 A.C., taxi, police, heavy duty chassis & heavy duty radiator. The online database says it fits 1955 through 1975 cars, which is hard to believe especially since newer cars had crossflow radiators that were completely different.

538799 P/8 except A.C., taxi, police, heavy duty chassis, & heavy day radiator. I believe this is just that small shield you normally find on these car with a regular cooling system. The online database says it only fits 1963 cars, but I got the number right from my 1961 book so that doesn't make sense. i think it's probably the same from 1961 through 1964, but in any case it's what you're looking to replace.

537170 All A.C., taxi, police, heavy duty chassis and heavy duty radiator. This is the same description used for 538585 so I don't know what the difference would be, but the online database says it fits 1961 through 1964 cars.

So, I'd think if you can find one from a 1961 through 1964 car it's probably going to work. There may be a chance other years will work as well but I suspect they'd need modifications.
