Radiator Adaption needed
I have a 96 powerstroke that I adapted into a 92 idi body and frame and I'm having issues with finding a radiator that'll fit the frame on the 92 is about 4in narrower. Had anyone done anything similar and know about a radiator that will work? Reason being I dont use the idi one is it's bad and the replacement that fits is 6-800 dollars

The frames are the same width. It's the core support that's your issue, the IDI trucks had a small radiator option for trucks with no air conditioning. Post a picture of the radiator you currently have. The more common radiator is available from Champion for under 300.00 delivered.
