Which Radiator ? 2 or 3 row, Aluminum ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My engine replacement has turned into a restoration than just a new crate engine. I keep finding parts either worn completely out or broken. I'm the type who doesn't put this off. I will update my engine thread later.

What I need input on is what size Radiator to buy. The one that came out of the truck looks to be OEM. And weights a ton, its plugged up. And the bottom half is soft. Its a three row also.
I'm looking at replacements and with the new Aluminum Radiators out there is it possible a two row will do the job of the old three row ?
Or stay with a three row ?
