Can't help you with your radiator, but here is the kit I purchased to reduce the pressure of my Saginaw canned ham pump

I have not had a chance to install it yet. But looking at the instructions it shouldn't be too hard.

On the radiator, I chose the U. S. Radiator for my 1948 F-1 with a small block Windsor engine. I chose them because they use a one-piece drawn tank rather than welding the tanks from flat stock. I went with a two row aluminum with a center inlet and driver side outlet and an automatic transmission cooler. They aren't cheap, but are worth the money. Link is here to get to their 1953-56 Ford truck radiators:

U.S. Radiator's Complete Line of Radiators. Made in the USA!

Looking at the U. S. Radiator selection for your 55 F100, they offer a complete package of radiator, electric fan and fan shroud. Scroll down to the bottom as there are 3 pages of selections.
