Radiator issue

I have a 56 Ford F100 with a chevy 350 motor. The current rad is a "chevy style" as it has the top hose in the middle and the bottom on the passenger side. I would like to get a different rad or get this re-cored and a new shroud installed. The current shroud has the bottom cut out for the bottom hose so it's basically worthless. I have a 15 inch six blade steel fan. I'm hoping someone on this cite had a similar issue and has a solution or two Thanks to all in advance.

Go on Ebay get a 3 or 4 row aluminum Radiator with correct outlets top and bottom and a 18" overflow tank --get the matching shroud with Electric fan-- Champion or Radiators 4 less--- Then you will be PLEASED with the operation-- Good Luck

Well...that's a problem as what p/n for the 3 or 4 row rad and electric fans with shroud ? I looked at plenty of champion rads...even have one on My 67 Dodge but very few show any type of shroud mount. Are those pics a 56 F100 ?

HELL of a DEAL if in STOCK like it says and inlet & outlet is correct for you all you need is a overflow tank-- good Luck

If you do not have AC that CFM electric fan should be ok-- did not see whet temp sensor that goes in your intake manifold goes on and off at-- I like 195 ON and 175 off with 180 degree thermostat

I am sure others will chime in
