60-66 4x4 70's frame swap radiator mounts

I am almost done with my frame swap on my 65 c20 to 77 k20 frame but I can't seem to come up with any good ideas on how to mount my radiator. I have a new aftermarket aluminum radiator that does not have the mounting holes on it. I am hoping someone has paved the way for me and can help me out. Any ideas or picture would be great !.


Thanks again !

I plan on offering something in the not too distant future, but that doesn't help you now. I'm assuming it is a crossflow radiator? Do you by chance have the radiator support from the '77 K20? If so you might be able to utilize the lower portion of that to support your aluminum radiator. Which aftermarket aluminum radiator do you have?

Here is the Radiator style I have

I don't have the radiator support from the 77. I didn't think about it when I was parting it out. Now my 65 radiator support is about 3 inches back from the stock location for the 77 so I don't know if it would help.

Thanks for the reply.

Do you still have the frame from your '65? If so you may be able to utilize the original lower radiator mount with that radiator. It's hard to say for sure with some of that overseas aftermarket stuff.
