Mounting an Entropy Radiator - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone have pics of how you mounted your Entropy radiator? My truck had a inline 6 so the factory mounts aren't working. I would appreciate any help!

Mine might be a little different since I believe yours is a '68, but for me I cut the end off the mount, but down some of the mount so I could screw into the aluminum of the radiator, and had to use 454 rubber mounts that I got off ebay, and still had to trim the mounts for it to fit right, but after all that it finally held.

...Griffin rad, but kinda the same idea....used the stock rubbers on the bottom and made this bracket for the top....

I'd like to use factory mounts if possible. Can the stock 6 cylinder mounts be moved to accommodate the larger radiator?

Is this on your 68 I assume? Looks like the others are later c10's w/ different rad supports all together...

what thickness is the radiator?...I believe from others you can simply use 4 core mounts...just make sure to get uppers and lowers...they are what came on the big block trucks and trucks with tow pkg/camper specials...

You can find sets from vendors, on the board, or I have a complete set for 55 shipped...

I believe entropy has the 3/4 core mounts available. Did those not fit for you correctly?

C10_ustacould · 06-20-2012, 04:37 PM

I bought my radiator from board member Hart_Rod. Unused, but in an open box and I don't remember seeing any mounts in the box. Gonna have to look again. I checked the Entropy website and it appears they are included. More to follow...

C10_ustacould · 06-20-2012, 07:41 PM

Got a better look at it and it appears I just need the larger mounts. (There weren't any mounts included with the radiator.) The new radiator is about 3.250" at the mounting location (the tanks). I also need to move the passenger side mount to the outer mounting location.

I am looking at purchasing one of these radiators also. I believe they will fit the four core rad mount, but they can also make the radiator fit the three core mounts but for extra money check out their web site

At the time I got the radiator, no mounts were included.

Yeah Rob, they aren't included. I bought some 4 core mounts from VA72C10, just waiting for them to arrive.
