I used just about everything from the donor 2004 2500hd. Radiator fit great with a few cup style mounts welded into the bottom core support along with 2 nuts welded into the top. Trans lines, and stock cooler fit great as well as stock radiator pipes. No issues with the stock fan, just need to fab up a shroud. I had no original parts worth reusing from my '77 hence using the newer stuff.

most of the parts used to put the in radiator came from junk sitting around that's why I don't throw nuting away :waah:

Re: ls radiator in 79 truck
hello all. if I remember correctly, how will you fill the ls radiator? it doesn't have a vent cap/neck. are you gonna fab up a way to use the ls overflow canister? also another thing to remember is to burp or extract all the air out of the cooling system. some of the forum users have had complaints about air pockets and cooling problems. 4x4k30 & cdub2010 you guys are smart for using the ls stuff. GM has a lot of R&D behind the LS. Good luck.
