I would TRY to see if your original can be rodded out...I had a friends radiator serviced a couple months ago and in talking asked about a new core, cost and so on...and mentioned Modine..seems they are no more and ALL radiator and heater cores are now done overseas...
Ive also heard many of the aftermarket core replacements for our good ole US cars and trucks are aluminum when the originals were good old copper....Im all about keeping my US rig american as much as at all possible...
The core itself is the same used on all 65-6 6 cylinder F100 and F250 trucks ...its dimension is 18 1/4 X 23 3/4 X 1 1/4.

cs65, Things change, a sign of the times. We love our wages, pensions, and health care. Things are made overseas to keep the prices lower for you. Alum. is a better conductor of heat, what can we say.
Don't mean we gotta like it but it is what it is. Enjoy your Winter Soltice over on the left coast..
