7.3 Radiator question

I have 1995 F250 with 7.3L Powerstroke has a radiator leak.
Well its early 95 (I think 94.5) because its has metal or brass with radiator cap on top of radiator I know the later 95 and up has plastic top and filler cap on side? Anyway I was wondering if any older radiator will fit on my 95? Like from 87 6.9 and 88 to 1991 7.3?

i cannot find any good used around here? I checked at advanced auto and they want $320 and 335 from O'Reilly.

Do any one have good one would like to sell??

Let me know before gets cold lol Thanks!!!!!

That radiator is huge - $350 is not bad if it's made of copper like the original. Copper is expensive these days.

You should probably just suffer and buy a new radiator. You don't know how long an old one will last.

As jas88 says, it's a big radiator and copper radiators are expensive (if it's copper). Probably not over priced.
