I'm having a hard time finding parts for this truck. Plenty of C20 stuff, no C30. Right now I'm stuck trying to find a new stock radiator. I want the truck to stay stock. Supposedly there were only 1745 of these built.

What motor do you have? Air conditioning? You should be able to get a radiator for a half ton or 3/4 ton if you know what number core it currently has in it

Radiators are basically the same on all models from '67-'72. You will have to know whether yours is a 2 core, 3 core, or a 4 core radiator.

The clamps that hold the radiator down must fit a specific type. The truck has a 350, no a/c, no power steering. I think I'm going to go to a shop and have them re-core it. The radiator that's in here came out of an 80 'vette. At least that's what I was told.

You have a 1-ton stepside? Wow. That's great.

I sure wish that's what mine was. Does yours have a 9 foot long bed?
