If you still have the high water pump 216 then there is a problem with the radiator and I would contact the vendor about it. You don't want to unnecessarily chop up the sheet metal to make it fit. Also, as pictured in Phak1's photos you should run a heavy reinforcement across the front of the radiator. On the 1-tons the brace that's been cut out is a structural member. The whole of the front sheet metal hangs on that hoop the radiator bolts to, which is supported on the frame in one place at the bottom.
