Re: Radiator ID Help
you are correct,the saddles the rad sits in on the bottom and and where they clamp the top,should go over the flange where the rad core meets the tanks.there should be a rubber insert in those saddles,not metal on metal.the new core i just soldered into my original tanks had straps on it for shipping holding cardboard,the marks still visible in the picture before paint but not factory.i'd have to go measure mine but your measurements sound about right,you may have a replacement aftermarket rad for a truck but i doubt that is a GM rad,certainly not with the tabs on there for the aluminum shroud?a GM rad wouldn't have that void along the top from the left to right side,or at least not on any rad i've seen?
