New Radiator
I finally have my new radiator installed in the 49. I have a small leak around one of the transmission cooler fittings, but everything else seems OK. Will try to fix the leak next week. It was about 90' here today. I started the truck and let it idle, the temp got up to 195' and the fan came on. After about 4 minutes the temp was down to less than 180' and the fan shut off. Seems to work well. I am happy with it so far. Going to a car show tomorrow and will drive it about 40 miles each way, so I'll see how it does on the road.
Here's some pics of it.

Ray,
I got the radiator from PRC. It's the second one I have bought from them.
The radiator cost $410, the shroud was $100 and the fan was $89 on ebay. I don't remember what the trans cooler cost, but it was reasonable. I had the AC condenser, I think I paid $125 for it.
It was about 95' today and I ran about 40 miles on the highway @ 70MPH. Temp stayed right on 180'.
