I bought a new radiator for my '52 F-1 (V-8) from LMC. Total cost was about $350.
The fit was "okay". The bottom two nozzles were shifted about 3/4 of an inch towards the sides more than the original. The bottom hoses connected fine, but the shroud did not fit well. I ended up having to remove some metal on the bottom edge of the shroud to make it mate to the new LMC radiator.

the one i bought from npd , is as i said made by us radiator , and american made . it fit correctly no mods at all , and it cost less than your imported one from lmc . not by much but it did . the fitment being spot on was worth a couple of bucks more to me if it had been the case .
