I received my '60-'62 mount style Champion radiator over the weekend. The radiator looks great,but I was terribly disappointed once I dropped it into the truck. Apparently the frame crossmember beneath the radiator in a '63 is entirely different from the '60-'62. The early radiator hits the crossmember and cannot drop into proper position. It looks like I need to send this radiator back and round up the proper pieces for the '63-'66 application. So much for saving myself time and money.

Re: Radiator Conundrum

The '60-'62's do not have a crossmember there at all.
