Search Silla all-aluminum radiator.
Upgrade to a 34" radiator for a 2005 + GM truck or 1999 + non hd 2500 with 6.0 L.
Local radiator shop can get one for around $200.
Lower mount holes are in the support, also upper nuts, 3" outward, on upper support.
Great upgrade, cost can domino, new shroud, new upper hose is 3" longer, optional engine oil cooler install, future e-fans with a blackbear tune to activate fans, ect.
Engine temp will be cooler.

Replaced the radiator earlier today with no problems in a hour. Might just jbweld the crack on the old one and keep it for a spare or sell it as is with it cracked.

No need to keep it. Just takes up space, Dave. Congrats on the repair.

I think you should JB Weld it and then find a nice truck to put around it.

Who would buy a super high mileage, ancient radiator with a crack?

JB Weld repair notwithstanding.

This isn't a rare early 60s Impala we are talking about.

Napa said this is uncommon radiator that was used on my truck. The more common ones had engine oil cooler on the radiator or had both engine oil cooler and heavy duty cooling. I used JB Weld on a radiator before and it held up.
