I replaced my standard single core rad with a HD style alum rad from the same year model pickup. It is almost three times thicker and coolant capacity is much greater. I got it new from autozone for around $150 if I remember correctly.

Mine is from Afco. Haven't fired up the motor yet, so I don't know how well it actuall works.

Replaced the puny little 1 inch thick radiator in front of my 5.0L with the 2.5 inch rad from a 460 truck. All Dimension are the same. Just make sure to get the 460 fan/spacer and shroud. Talk about cooling!
