HELP! Radiator questions.....4 core, etc...

[74Chevy74]

Alright I'm in need of some help like I always get here! I got a 4 core radiator for my truck, and it seems not to fit right? I was able to order the correct rubber mounts to fit the radiator but the top holder is not big enough, did they make these in different sizes for 3/4 ton compared to 1/2 tons??? I hope I'm giving enough info...it also seems like the shroud won't fit either??AHHHHHHHH I really hate problems liek this!

4 row radiators use a different top plate than the smaller radiators use. You will need one of them. All 400 and 454 trucks had them for sure.

Thanks for the help, I checked in all my catalogs last night and saw another options for that upper plate for a big block so I'll order one up, and it looks like I'll need a new shroud as well.

Yup, the shrouds are way narrower too...forgot about that.
