Hey guys, a friend of mine gave me a Chevy Custom Deluxe 20 4x4, with a manual transmission and a 350 motor. I am having trouble figuring out what size radiator goes into the thing. Wen I got the truck it didnt have a radiator. Does anybody know what size the radiator was stock? I was told in 1979 there were two different sizes, 28x17 (most common), and 28x19 (least common). Please help if you can, thanks!

Go with the heaviest one that will fit. Most vendors offer radiators. I got one from LMC and haven't had any problems with it.
Just my 2 cents,

If the rubber mounts are still there measure between them for a fit. just may have to buy oneand see what works
