How do I tell a 3 or 4 row radiator? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know this has been asked before but I did not get definitive in my search but if I see 4 parallel rows of water journals in my radiator, is that a 4 core? Thanks.

If you look in the radiator cap opening and see 4 tube openings across, then that is a 4 core radiator.

4-core is noticably wider also and takes specific 4-core radiator support mounts/rubbers.

If your truck was originally an A/C truck chances are it would have a 4-core radiator.
