Radiator

I have been looking for a radiator for my 73 F-350 with a 460 engine. I found an aluminum radiator 24 1/4 X 25 3/8 X 2 1/4 and 2 rows. They list it as a 1974 and not a 1973. It is priced at $155 and that would be compared to another radiator at about $275.

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the 73 and 74 for the bolt in radiator.

Thanks

If its for a 460 it should be a 4 core radiator (one of the thicker ones) If it measures the same I can't imagine why it would not work. Even if you had to use different mounting holes I would think it would be well worth the savings.

I tried to do some research on the difference between 2 row and the 3 and 4 row. I can't seperate the bias but the articles seemed to say that aluminum 2 row with the over 2 inch thickness was quite satisfactory for a 460. The $275 radiator was copper and it has 3 rows.
