according to my interchange, 48-53 B & 100 series takes #435. 48-50 C & 200 series and 48-53 D & 300 series takes #436. however the 51-53 C & 200 series took the #435 same as the 48-53 B & 100 series. my guess is what you have will work.

If your not keeping it all stock, I drilled a couple holes and mounted a 3 core 70s truck rad to my 50 rad support. Gene

well, i just compaed the two radiators, and for the most part, they look the same. the only difference i see is the mounting brackets are different. the guy found my post on cl. two weeks ago, been screwing me around and now put me in touch with his buddy that has it. he wants $250.00 firm for it. it has been sitting for about 10 years . oh, what to do?

Most radiator companies have thier catalog online. I'd measure out what you have and see if something looks like it could be adapted to your setup. That's how I figured out a HD radiator from an 87 Ram would fit my 87 Diplomat.
