The reason I ask is that I have seen aluminum radiators in old vehicles crack due to chassis flex.
Any chance you have a radiator shop somewhere near you that could build a custom copper / brass radiator. ?

Frame is actually from a 2002 Eddie Bauer Explorer. Fully boxed over the entire length and IFS/IRS with an 8.8 Limited slip rear end 3.73 gears.

No custom rad shops in the area, closest is Spokane, WA @ 2.5hr drive.

Was looking at the fleabay ones and just looking at something that might be stock sizes for another vehicle but will bolt into the 47-54 chev spot that had a stock configuration that would work. Trying to stay away from the custom weld ups as it does significantly add to the price.
