I am not at home and I am looking at buying an aluminum radiator and fan but I dont know if it is going to fit. Here are the measurements

Core measures 17" wide, 18" tall, 1 1/4" thick

Overall measurements are 22" wide, 19" tall, 2 3/8" thick (not counting
filler neck, mounting brackets, or hose connections)

Does this sound like it will work in my truck? thanks

Adam

Does the radiator on your truck right now cool alright? If so I wouldnt mess with the alum (they really dont help much). I just put 2 12" elec. fans with an alum shroud on my stock radiator and it will work fine. and I got both fans and the shroud finished for what that setup right there costs.

I actually need a radiator for my blazer. I was going to swap and put this aluminum in my truck and use the one I have now for the blazer. do you have any pics of the aluminum shroud?

Radiators.com (or radiator.com ) one of the two has a 4 core that is $167 shipped. The truck it specs for is a 88 R20 454 suburban. Has Tranny cooler but no Engine oil cooler. It's a Modine. I have it in my Burb that I was having some cooling problems and it works great. Junk yard a couple fans are your set.

Ohh yeah
A puller fan is more efficent then a pusher.
