I had mine "recored" at a radiator shop. The top & bottom tank ends are the only original parts that remain.
Cost a bit over $300.00, though.

I have the rad out of my 52 that came with a 6 cyl. I think its original. I am not going to use it. It seem in good shape. I could take some pics and send them to you. Maybe some of the other members could see it and make sure its the one.

It would of had a ohv 6.When i got the truck there was a 302 in it with this rad hooked up to it. I took some pics but cant find my cable to hook my camra up to my computer. My sun has it someplace and he will be home from work later tonight.i will post some pics then. The only prolem with the rad is the lower brace is rust out.Would be a easy fix.
