Re: 3 core radiator upper support

I made one for an aftermarket 4 core years ago. Was pretty easy with a small welder, metal saw, and a can of duplicolor truck bed liner. Used steel from Lowe's.

Took it off years ago to go a different route and built a new one for the original radiator that I reinstalled after discovering the 4 core didn't make a bit of difference.

here is a pic of the 4 core

it is a nice looking part when finished.. another member made it..but did not quite finish it..he sorta moved on to a 2nd build of another style..and sold this unit off..I picked it up..and had it finished..

I have 2 aluminum Rads one is a 2 core. wIth 20AN fittings. and a 4 core..for reg hoses..if I cant use it..I will hit ya up..


ya never know how things work out...the 4 core will also be up for sale (new in box)as seen above in post..
note 4 core is set up with AN or reg hose for over flow.(at cap) and the silly temp bung is capped off with 1/8 npt..if ya don't need it.if ya need it ya just remove Plug..

so many unused parts...

I ordered a champion 3 core with the twin elec fan setup then just made a plate out of aluminum. I used body clips on the radiator after drilling 4 holes in the upper mount.
