They are pricey at about $600, but it opens the door for AC or anything you want to hang on it, while enjoying the benefits of the stock look. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Pete, you may want to check in with Dillion Radiator? Or Champion Cooling which is who makes them for Dillion.

I went to evil bay and did a search for aluminum radiators then found the 4 row one and went to their on-line store and searched their catalog until I found the ones fitting our AD trucks and clicked the purchase button. Easy process, I think you will do OK. Good luck.
