Hey guys is it possible to get a 51 gmc radiator adapted for an automatic tranny or can you recommend a place to "git one bilt"?? The 401 needs alot of cooling, and the wife is tired of riding on the bumper with a mist bottle. lol

I'm not positive but I think I saw such an animal on the "Chevy Duty" site. Where at in Mich are you, I'm in Indian River?

I doubt you'll find a GMC radiator at Chevy Duty. But a radiator shop can install an internal cooler.
If you already have an external cooler I don't think the internal will help cool though. It will warm it to operating temp quicker in cold weather.

I checked their site, you're right they don't have a combo for a GMC. They do have a nice aluminum though.

Try Vintage Air for your radiator. Chevy and GMC are the same mount.

Good Luck!

The gmc radiator's mounting is different to allow for the 1-7/16" longer engine.
