griffin radiator does not fit its application !
 

My 66 c-10 is getting a zz-4 gm crate and 200-r4.
I got a griffin 'direct fit' . Its 3 1/8 deep and too thick to fit into stock brackets.
Any been there with this problem ?
Its a good looking unit. Hate to return it.

I'd call Griffin and see if perhaps you were sent the wrong unit.

There are 2 sizes of stock brackets. You have the radiator thats fits the wide bracket(heavy duty v8). You apparently have the std duty bracket. You just need to track down a wide stock bracket, cuz no one makes them. Or you could fab one up.

Actually, I went through the same exact thing recently. Even the V8 rad. brackets do not fit the Griffin. Sucks. I returned mine.

I did email griffin and did not get good resolution. Basically was told the radiator was engineered to oem specs.
What vehicles have the HD radiators?
thanks

rideblue..... thanks for the reply.... can you say best vehicles to look for HD brackets.....

lugnuts..... perfect solution. thanks. I was thinking this was where this was leading. just bums me that griffin has ignored the buck here and has not addressed this problem yet.
