Different Year model Rad Swap Question

[morethanstock66]

I was trying to find some info on people who swapped different year model radiators in their 60-66 C10s. I'm looking to replace mine with one who's top would be level with the top of the rad support... Similar to the 67-72 C10 radiator fitment. The only one else I had seen was a 1st gen Camaro rad on a LS swap on this site, but I can't find that link again.

Has anyone else looked into doing the same thing?

I assume a 67-72 rad with the same formed hoses would work for a 60-66. Would I be wrong?

The 67 to 72 radiator is about 8" wider and will not go in it. You could have one built to do what you want.

I am using a 67-69 Camaro radiator in my LS swap. I chose to use it because it fits better and looks more natural in my opinion. It is a few inches wider than stock, but a few inches shorter. It fits between the inner fenders with about 1/2" to spare on each side. Once mounted, it will sit flush with the top of the core support instead of 4" above it. Also once I mount it, it will be about 2" above the frame rails allowing me to connect the lower hose.

For mounting, I will be welding small tabs on that 1" space in the core support. I will be bolting directly to it with a rubber washer for dampening the vibration.
