67 6 cylinder Raditor to a Radiator that will hold up to a Mild built 454.

What radiator's have you used and what brackets are needed.

I have read bits and pieces around this forum but wondered if anyone had a quick list put together of what they had to do.

you well need a 3 or a 4 row rad, the 3 row will fitwith the original mounts, 4 will not

Just use a stock 4 row, and use the 4 row upper and lower mounts. EZPZ.

How hard are the brackets to get?

Almost every vendor on this board sells them. I ordered mine from Wes at Classic Heartbeat (site vendor), and they were NOS GM parts.

Exactly like the others said... I have a mild 454 and has the 4 row radiator with trans cooler lines and works perfect. Brackets are an easy find and change your body mounts under the radiator while you have it out.

Parts seem to be more abundant for these trucks than the 60s trucks I am used to dealing with

biohazardbill · 01-18-2013, 10:38 PM

You guys getting your stock radiators from your local auto parts stores?

I take it any year of these trucks (68-72) with a big block would have the 4 core?

I paid right at $200 for a new one 2 years ago.O'Rielly's had one in the warehouse.I did go pick it up.(Sat so I would have had to wait until mon if I didn't.

Ordered a 4 core from Advance. Shipping it to the house, Online had a 20% off sale so that works. 3 core was without AC and 4 core was with in case anyone else is looking one of these up.

I'm not sure but not all rad supports are made to hold four core mounts unless it came four core, nothing a little notching out can't take care of so the mounts lay flat. Well that's how my good friend took care of it and it looks and works good.
