Trans Cooler Needed

Have to replace the cooler that came with the truck as it looks like the PO got it from a refridgerator or some other non-automotive cooling system. The attached photo is "as received" .

The truck is a 56 GMC 100 with a 455 Poncho coupled to a TM400. Not planning to haul or race, just want a reliable cruiser. Looking for suggestions on a good unit to hang in front of the radiator not below as shown in the photo as we know that coolers need air flow for heat exchange. Planning to fab some brackets rather than use the nylon straps.

Liked the layout of the Tru-cool system as it has some robust mounting hardware along with fittings rather than the barbed ends. Planning to run new 5/16" lines from the trans to the cooler. Wanted to make sure the heat loading is OK as this truck does not have a cooling line in the radiator so the new cooler will be doing all the work.

Tru-cool P/N 4707 looks like a good match as it is for a 20,000 GVW vehicle but would appreciate some feedback.
