This is awesome, thank you very much everyone! (special thank you to you Franklin2 for going through trouble and doing the research like that!!!).
My local O'reilly sells aluminum with plastic and I heard that they are not good.
I think I will go with Spectra Premium CU558 and I will check local shops first.
Thanks again!

The aluminum ones dissipate heat better so you can get away with a smaller, lighter one for the same cooling capacity, but the brass ones usually last the life of the truck and are rebuildable/cleanable. ~Bill

You need the ~27" wide version to be a direct fit. The ~21" version was mostly used for non-A/C applications.
