All in all I'm pretty pleased with the quality of everything. One of the brackets gave me a little trouble because the slot, where the small carriage bolt goes, was too small. No big deal I just got a screwdriver and pried it open a little bigger.

The fans are pretty dadgum heavy I would say that the weight of the radiator doubled after everything was said and done. Which is understandable. Well I plan on installing it in my truck this evening i will post pictures as soon as I can. Thanks for all yalls input on helping me choose a radiator!

This last picture is upside down. Sorry..

Thanks for the replies guys. I put the radiator in and I'm pretty pleased with how it fit. The only thing I did not like is that u can not use the original rubber for the bottom and top mounting brackets. I'm not sure if they even intended the rubber to be used but I'm going to mock some up so there is no metal to metal contact that may lead to wear.

Well here it is!
