'69 C10 going from 2 core to 4 core radiator - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got ahold of an OEM 4 core radiator for a good price to replace the 2 core that was in my truck before, problem is getting the old 2 core lower retainer brackets off and getting new 4 core brackets on. Didn't get a good look at them, but I think they're riveted in? Anyone else went through the same thing and can shed some light? Don't want to jump to drilling them out right away.

Not really a problem. Yours may be spot welded in the center of the cups. Use a die grinder on top or chisel from the side to cut them loose.
