All I can tell you from my experience is the Champion Radiators that they claim fits the 46's.......DO NOT! The cap hits the cross braceing comming off the firewall. Its an easy enough fix. The other thing you might have to do is have the filler neck turned 180 degrees as the coolant overflow nipple points towards the drivers side of the truck. You can have Champion change the oreintation of the nipple but I think it cost me about 75 bucks, and they did crapy job of it. Not sure if you have checked out my build but I chronicle all this over on the pre 46 projects side of this site.
