Help with Radiator size
I have a 96 F250 Ext. cab with 351,auto and air. it is 2wd and 8800GVW. The radiator is leaking and I am having problems with the size. I get asked is it 1 or 2 row. How do I tell? I would like the radiator before I take the old one out. I also want a direct replacement with no mods. Any help? Thanks Matt

If that's the only options, get the 2 row. Pull off the radiator cap(after it's cooled down), look inside and to the left, you'll see the rods that have holes in them. See if you have 1 or 2 vertical rows. Most after market radiators and like a 1 size fits all. You'll have connections for the tranny fluid which have plugs installed if you have a manual one. They're usually aluminum core with plastic end caps.
