What other radiators will fit?
Like many other parts on our trucks, what other years of radiators will fit in our trucks? I mainly want to know 'cause my truck was a 3-speed manual with a 3 row radiator, and I am putting an auto in it and would like a 4 row.

you can buy a new 4 row between 150 and 200 bucks so I would just buy new.

Tom, I too have used the 73 - 87 unit, however, I had to have the lower hose neck brased on from the old rad, otherwise, it would land on the frame as I lowered it into place.
Also, the tranny cooler lines are in a different location on the later ones, maiing a stock shroud difficult to use. You'd have to modify it. I just removed it and personally never had a problem. |

I have been watching that guy on eBay. $133.00 plus $15.00 shipping, sounds like a great deal!

I had a 4 core Caddy in mine in the early 90's.. I Don't know what year it came out of, I bought it at a swap meet. It was a perfect fit. Seems like one of the hoses were different, but I bought a longer or shorter hose.. Can't remember exactly.. A stick went through it so I bought a custom made one from Las Vegas Radiator on Oquindo.. About $220.00
