    Stock 2A with outlet moved to side. So far so good. I do have a Fiero radiator as a backup just in case.

    S-10 pick-up aluminum core out of a 2.5 four popper. I just fits between my fenders but does a great job of cooling.

    Summit has an aluminum crossflow "universal" radiator that fits great between the headlights, but needs some custom bracing. I just finished an install on an M38 with a ford V6, dual electric fans - and it fits like it was made for it. I did have to notch the lower drivers side tank to clear the steering shaft though.

    Not at home right now, so can't look up the item number. Reasonable pricing though.

    I'm about to order one from summit myself but I haven't been exactly sure which one. can you post your part number when you get a chance? I can, but don't want to order and send it back for a different one. did you use the stock bottom mount?

    I think the S-10 I used was around a 90-91. It took some work to the grill and I made the mounting brackets but it works great and there are millions of them around. I have a Griffin in the GPW with the TPI 350. No where near as wide as it will fit between the MB style head lights. It is much thicker though.

    thanks every one for the info. i spent 2 hours with a tape measure at our local pick and pull junk yard and found some promising stuff. if a person could stand having a jap truck part on his jeep a nissan looks like it would fit real good.they wanted 95 bucks for a used rad so i got a 4 core aluminum griffen from summit for 200.00. 16x24 inches. had to move some stuff and build the mounting brackets. but it looks like it will work good. i posted some pics, on my build thread.'flat fender pickup build"thanks mike
