Need radiator help.
I have a radiator in my 53 F100 that I have always believed was out of a 74 F100. It has the number D4TA DGA stamped in it. The trans cooler has developed a leak and since it has been in the truck for 20 years I thought I would just replace it. It was a used radiator that I had flushed and checked before I installed it. Anyway, my problem is that when I look at a replacement [looking at Champion for one] they all appear to be wider than the one I have, and the petcock is on the opposite side. Since it was a "custom" install I would like to find a direct replacement. Thought maybe someone on this forum might have some input.
