The store web sites seem to think I need a 22" wide radiator. My 360 4bbl T engine is 26" wide 18" tall (core) with top hose on driver side and bottom on passenger. Does anyone have a part number for a 2 row for this beast? Interested in staying with copper and brass, not alum/ alum or alum/ plastic. Thanks in advance.
 
Forgot to mention it's automatic. A tag on the radiator has #109 0959 but the tag doesn't look MOPAR.
 
If I remember right . Most of my cores in any of the 79's I've had were about 24" wide and about 18" tall . That's the core size only . Do you know if that's the original radiator that's in your truck ?
 
I managed to find the receipt back from '99. It's a Modine 959. This is from a '82 D250. I guess the Adventurers came factory with a bigger radiator than the Rams. Do you have a Midnight Special?
 
So the radiator was swapped out at one point in time . Just so you know I contacted my supplier to see what he had listed for your truck , but he still hasn't gotten back to see on sizes . As for my truck being a "Midnight Special" ? If you mean a "Midnight Express" ? Then the answer is no it's a 440 Warlock . But it does leave a special feeling to the brand X guy's that pull up next to me right around midnight . lol
 
Nice truck. I figured out how to view the garage. Thanks for looking into the radiators.
 
Thanks , and no problem on the radiator thing . I'm going to have to check on a couple of other thing's with them later this week . So if they haven't called me on this by then I'll find out when I talk to them then .
 
Can't say for the '79s, but the '77 2 wheel drive had a narrower radiator than did the 4 wheel drive. Or at least that's what my '77s have/had.
