Rad Swap
 
Is there a better performing rad that fits my 72 4x4 with little modification? Blew a leak in my stocker, just wondering what to look for in the junkyard. I have a sweet 4core that is just the right width, but I found out the hard way is a couple inches too tall.

Anyone found a good fitter?

I have the taller one zipped tied in. Just yesterday bought the right one off a member. The PO made mine work by bending the transmission lines. It's fine for a temp rad but I am glad I'll be replacing it. If I had the money it would be a aluminum one.

One thing about cooling your truck its very important.I have 12 trucks Bigger is always better the 2 that i'm working on is a 12 ton with air and a 1972 with out Air they both got 4 core rads when they where 200.00 5 years ago bought 4 of them 2 of them are for the 1964--66 chevy trucks and there all copper and brass.Now the alum are nice and i know they cool something good but i'm a stock kinda guy and i like the brass and copper ones

Brass and copper one about 6 weeks ago.4 core and about $200 at the LAPS.If you have a 2 core you need new mounts and a drill to put them in.
