Thanks for the tip! I just ordered it from o'reillys. I had a local radiator place quote me $520 to recore my old one!

I got the radiator, but it took a little massaging. The bolt holes don't line up, so I drilled new ones. Also, it's an inch taller than the stock one, so it has to fit just right to clear the hood. But I did get it to work! Btw, I have a 1961 f100 w/ a 223.

I was bummed when I recently paid $326 to have my 62 radiator recored. If you can salvage the top and bottom, you may resale them to someone.
