I think it would look better than a shiny aluminum radiator in a 50 year old truck. I guess my logic is, if it worked for this many years shouldn't it be okay for the same stock motor in the truck?

The copper 3-row I put in my L6 truck looks virtually identical to the original 2-row. When hauling heaving loads up long hills the 2 row couldn't keep the engine temp stable. The new 3-row keeps the engine temp very stable under similar heavy loads.
