Ok I'm starting to put my truck back together and I would like to get a new aluminum radiator. Does any body know the measurements I need to have fir a 67 with a 350? And also what would be the place to get one.

34 in wide by 19 in high. Both Griffin and BeCool have a custom fit Rad for your truck. A 3 row should do just fine. I use a BeCool 4 row in my 67 big block and it does just fine here in Tucson when the temps are 110 degrees in the summer!

34 in wide by 19 in high. Both Griffin and BeCool have a custom fit Rad for your truck. A 3 row should do just fine. I use a BeCool dual row in my 67 big block and it does just fine here in Tucson when the temps are 110 degrees in the summer!

Griffin Thermal Products 8-00008 from summit looks sweet. 1 1/4 tubes and has a 2 year waranty. Think this is route I'm going. Any one else using one?

Gotta a part number for us?!

I'd love to know since I'm on the west side of the state and it gets hot out in the fields :P

How did the BeCool fit. I heard that that they are not a direct swap? I talked to BeCool and they know about this problem about modifying the rad mound which is something I dont want to do.

I have a no-name aluminum rad in my 1972 GMC. Stock replacement, and I bought it on ebay. Paid about $180 for it back in 2006. Works and fits fantastic. Its a 2 core, with 4 core sized tanks.

I heard that the 2 core that's the same thickness as the 4 has some big tubes going through it and cools just as good as the same size 4 core.

I'm hoping mine shows up today. I ordered a 2 row champion off ebay. $180 shipped and they rate it to cool up to 525 horsepower. All the companies I looked at stated that a 2 row aluminum cools better than a 4 row copper. There were a few cheaper (around $150) made by silla but didn't look to be quite as well constructed. I'll post how it does this august when hits 115 here.
