Carquest Premium Radiator

I bought this product for my 1969 GMC 2500 truck with small block 350. This truck had the original 3 Core radiator which was leaking and freighted with sludge. The new radiator is less than half the weight. If your truck has the 3 core radiator mounts you will need to trim the rubber to get this to fit, or order the 4 core radiator mounts from big block trucks, or trucks with tow package. To my knowledge almost no new repop radiator on the market fits the 3 core mounts without some modification. I plan to order the 4 core mounts for the top and replace the current trimmed setup, but it looks factory as is when in place. The only thing I do not care for (which is common on most new radiators) is the lack of metal insert in the fill neck, and the plastic drain plug. I did not experience any leaks on initial test. Although I have not road tested the truck this is a 3 core radiator and being aluminum / copper instead of steel / copper should offer some slightly better performance than 40yr old technology. Bottom line worked, and price was cheap, but as with any old vehicle some modification is neccissary.

did not fit the way an original would, had to modify the top and bottom mounts, bummer...

Appeared to be good quality. Thicker and heavier duty than the original but still bolted right in. I did repaint it as the finish was very thin.

This was used as a replacement for the original radiator in my 68 GMC truck

In the questions section this radiator was described as made of brass and copper. It was made of aluminum and plastic!
