Hello , I hope you can help with some radiator info and ID. Is the radiator I have is correct for my 1958 Viking 4400 and is there a thicker core available from the larger models of same year that will fit the same? Would anyone have one of these available or a photo to ID, not much available here in Australia for these With Cummins 6bt conversion, not confident this 3' core will dissipate the heat in hot climate. Thanks for your help
Diesels routinely require less radiator capacity than gassers, so, it might not be necessary to get a larger radiator, however, some tanker and other working trucks have been seen with 4" cores, don't know where to find in Oz?
Radiator shop might have a more efficient core available as another option.

'37 GMC T-18 w/ DD 4-53T, RTO-610, 6231 aux., '95 GMC running gear, full disc brakes, power steering, 22.5 wheels and tires. '47 GMC 1 ton w/ 302, NP-540, 4wd, full width Blazer front axle. '54 GMC 630 w/ 503 gasser, 5 speed, ex fire truck, shortened WB 4', install 8' bed. '55 GMC 370 w/270, 420 4 speed, grain, dump bed truck from ND. Works OK.
Hi Ed, Thanks for insight, would love to see if one of those 4' cores is available and if not the upgraded core is not something that had occurred to me- thanks for the idea It gets pretty hot where I am and there are performance mods to the engine, would prefer to start with more cooling capacity than required when getting my truck on the road soon.
