C6TA-AD2 Radiator

Can anyone identify this radiator as to what it fits, specs, etc??

It is in my 1966 F100, 240, 2wd ,3 ott, no ac or power steering, upper passenger side inlet and lower passenger side outlet. It decided to spring a leak while I installed a 3 groove crank pulley.

Supposedly, it is the original radiator for the vehicle. However, after spending hours & hours researching both on-line and in person, the radiator that is listed(CU394, B394, etc) does not fit.
The measurements given by C&G Ford Parts, LMC, etc are 18" x 23 3/4" X 1 1/4.

I am confused beyond my normal state with this.

PLEASE, help!!!

What do you mean "does not fit"?
To big, to small, inlet / outlet wrong, how it bolts up, or ???
When I looked on Rock Auto they list 3 radiators and the inlet/outlet are on the right sides so?

Inlet on left side, too wide, double flange.

I took EricJ's advice and ordered a CU318 from Amazon.

$376.09 (with tax), free shipping and free return.

I figure, if it doesn't fit, I can send it back for free.

Current date of delivery is 6/1. I'm sure I can find some things to do on the truck until then.

I went on-line to check the status of my order, and discovered that Amazon now has the last available CU318 radiator listed at $519.79. That is an increase of $175.86 in about 24 hrs. I'm glad I went ahead with the order.
