    Can't believe it's hard to score a radiator for this truck ! 65 chevy c10 with a 6 cylinder ! Everyone has the 8 ! Nobody has one for the six ! Very different !
    Anybody have a clue or direction ? Much obliged from the milltown !

    take out the funky baffles and stuff and put the bigger radiator in it. You might need to find the top clamp thing.

    Did you look at RockAuto yet?
     
  7. All the radiators should interchange. If you can, score a radiator from a V6 gmc truck, they are 4 cores!! Or you can do what I did, I purchased an all aluminum 1 core universal fit radiator from summit for $172 shipped to my house. Just get the measurements height, wide with upper and lower heater hose inlets. Dave
