In need of a new radiator

Post by 1969 FORD F250 »

I have a 1969 Ford F-250 A/C 3 on tree with the 360 v8. It over heats since I still have the original 1969 radiator. I just received a new 100% aluminum one from Vista auto parts but mounts are on the rear of radiator. Mine are on the front with fan shroud on the rear. What do I need to order? I read in an Advance Auto comment that my truck had 3 different radiators that year. I already cleaned the full system with radiator cleaner and removed radiator to clean fins and blow dirt out of fins. Inside radiator looks pretty rusty but after 46 years I can understand. I am leaving the A/C condenser in place since my intention is to keep truck as original as possible.

First off, welcome to the site. I suggest you post your needs in the "Parts Wanted" section on the bottom of the page, you will be much more successful in locating what you need.

In retrospect, I have an extra operational radiator from a 70 F250. PM me if you need more info.
