'55 Radiator
Put the front clip on the truck tonight! Now I need a radiator! I had one from the bone yard that would work with the 390 that was in the truck when I got it, but of course the bottom hose is on the wrong side for the 223.
Any suggestions for a cheap fix? I don't really want to drop $300-$400 on a new radiator. A good used one would be fine by me!

I just bought a 1975 Dodge truck radiator from Advance Auto parts for $169.00 and took it to a local radiator shop. They swapped the inlet and outlet to fit my 351W motor for $50.00. I have not installed it yet but looks like all I will have to do is drill a couple of new mounting holes.
