Anybody have any suggestions for a radiator, or know of any good deals. I have a 65 C10 with a 230ci 6 cyl. I saw in one of the catalogs that a 292 rad was cheaper, but was not sure of the inlet/outlet orientation. I have an upper left inlet and lower right outlet.

I am in Canada, around Montreal. I could have something shipped to Texas tho and then shipped to me.

thanks in advance

I got a copper 3 core radiator for my 66 for $179.00 from rock auto, I did have to drill 2 holes on the bottom of the radiator mount and change the location of the top rubber bushing to get it to align correctly but for the price it was great. Kieth

there are 2 cradles with rubber liners on the bottom of the radiator the slots in the bottom of the radiator did not line up with the original holes in the bracket so we simply drilled 2 holes in the support bracket that lined up with the slots in the new HD radiator (original 6 cyclinder now a 350)

There is a bracket that holds the radiator in place on the top, it also attached to the front radiator support bracket. We had to remove the metal bracket that had 2 rubber bumpers and move those so they lined up with the top of the radiator also. No big deal ...
