I'm trying to find a radiator and keep coming up short.

OEM Replacement/New Radiators for Factory Big Block Trucks with A/C are not available (Haven't been for 10 years from what I've read on RamChargerCentral)

I dropped the radiator that was in my truck off at the local radiator shop, tested full of pinholes and they don't think that even if they soldier them up it'll last long at all.

The factory radiator for Big Block trucks with A/C has a 21.5" Core Height that's 26" wide and Inlet/Outlet on passenger side.


My option is to spend 480 dollars on a 3 row re-core (which I'm hesistant to spend that kind of $ on considering it's not even the OE radiator and no part #'s or pentastar on the top tank).

or..

I've looked at these:

Spectra CU506 ( 1" shorter than OE radiator and only a 2 core; fitment seems to be *usable/workable*)

Champion CC1643 (Only a 16.25" tall core *3 Row* fitment would be *usable/workable*)

Champion CC503 (18.75" tall core *3 row*, but it's 27.63" wide and I think even with the width of the brackets, I could make it work too)

The thing holding me back with the Champion's is that I'm not sure what to do about a radiator fan shroud and I'm NOT going to step up to e-fan's just because I don't need them with a stockish 440 in a truck.

Anyone have any other ideas or thoughts?
