My 46 1/2Ton came to me without any engine,transmission and radiator .I plan to use a 4.3liter V6 with NV3500 transmission because I have one in good shape . Can any one recommend a radiator that can be made to fit and work in this truck ?

An original rad should have enough capacity for your V6. You should be able locate one on E Bay, or thru one of the Parts suppliers such as Jim Carter, or Chev's of the 40's. You may need to add an electric booster fan. I am running the original rad in my 1940 with a 327 V-8.

Thats what I suspected. Are the inlet and outlet locations not to hard to plumb to ?

Not sure where the hose connection points are on the V6. With my stock rad, connections are lower right corner and upper centre.
I used a corrugated flex style hose on the bottom / standard molded type up top.
