Radiator holder questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I upgraded to a radiator that is for an A/C truck so it is thicker. Is there any that i can get off of 80's models or do I have to modify mine?

What parts do you need?? they made longer hold downs for the 4 core rad.

The upper and lower hold downs. Trying to find things that I dont have to order because I'm about to have my truck running.

If you can find a truck in the local junkyard, that is your best bet. the 2-core and 3-core rad clips are the same size, but the 4-core is about ½" longer than the 2- and 3-core.

If you go, you will need a drill or cordless dremel to drill the rivets out of the lower clips.

I poped the insert out of the upper holder and cut it in half. Then welded it back in to where it would fit the 4 core radiator.

GMCPauls.com has the upper and lower mounts, $12 each. Part #'s

213422 is upper
213423 is lower

Rubber inserts are $4 or something. http://gmcpauls.com/radiators.htm

I'll check it out after I recover from this trans install bill.

I have a couple of lowers if you need to come over and pick them up and see if they will work for you. They came out of a core support that was v8 with ac
