It's been a really long time since I've been on here mainly because my truck has been together and running for the past few years. Well, this summer my original radiator gave up the good fight. So I had to replace it and decided to go with a less expensive KKS aluminum radiator from ebay. It arrived yesterday and I decided to toss it in this morning. Turns out it doesn't fit and I'm slightly frustrated. The way the mounting bracket is welded onto the radiator, it sits back towards the engine by at least and inch or two so I'm running into the fan.

Does anyone have experience with KKS radiators or any other additional information that I'm missing here? Is this the correct radiator? Would a later model radiator sit further back than the 1950?

Thanks for any help. I'd post pictures but can't figure out webshots after taking several years off.
