Mine is in rough shape and someone else tried to fix it and did not do a very good job. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 56 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 56 | I just bought one for a 63 from LMC and it fit fine, no problems. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,440 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,440 | Just so you'll know, '60-'62 and '63-'66 use different radiators and mounting systems. You need to state what year your truck is to get accurate info. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 235 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 235 | When you see them listed in the catalogs it says they fit the 60-66. Maybe they have both mounting holes. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,440 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,440 | I don't know what catalog you are using but the Classic Trucks online catalog show pictures and dimensions of the two different radiators. They mount differently. 1960-62 radiator 1963-66 radiator One is 23½" wide and has flanges where it bolts to the radiator support. The other is 25¼" wide and sits in a U shaped support. There is no way they will mount to the same support. Like I said, year model does make a difference. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 40 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 40 | I buy from 2 different sources on my sheet metal, and they both show 60-66 radiator supports being the same. $125.00 plus shipping. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 235 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 235 | Every catalog I have including Classic Parts list only one radiator support panel for these trucks. Do they ask you what year it is for when you order one? Will my 61 radiator bolt in or will I have to drill some holes? | | |
