Radiator swap
 
My 71 has a HD 4 row radiator that is leaking all over. The radiator shop said it's trash and he could re-core it for about $500. He recommended getting a new aluminum one from O'rileys. He said they do a pretty good job and are priced right. I picked one up and went to install it last night and of course, it doesn't fit right; story of my life. The new radiator is a 2 row and the almost 3/4 inch thinner that the 4 row so pads and retainers are too wide. I know those trucks came with a standard duty radiator that was thinner, but don't know about any different retainers available. Any help to make this fit would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Classic parts carries the retainers as well as a few other places. There's also used parts that pop up on the board all the time. Best of luck!
