Re: Radiator 70 c 20

Yes. If you have the truck, do you need to know what needs to be measured, for you to get the right dimensions?

Re: Radiator 70 c 20

Will the size of an aftermarket aluminum / plastic be fine, or do you need the size of the original copper / brass?

Re: Radiator 70 c 20

My radiator is 34" from outside to outside of the tanks, and 19" high. You could have one that is narrower if you have a 350 without AC. Do you have the radiator core support available to measure? The hole should be about 29" for the radiator like I have since it stops at the edges of the core.

Re: Radiator 70 c 20

That 28-3/8" core size corresponds to the hole, closely enough. I'll have to measure my core's thickness- it is a four-row brass job.
