Thinking about this radiator electric fan combo for my 78 fleet side

Hey everybody,
I was thinking about getting this radiator and fan combo for my 78 c15 fleetside. Now if the fit is correct this seems like a decent deal. Aluminum 3 row and lifetime warranty all for $400.

Any thoughts? Experiences?

Thanks everybody!

The pic looks nice  :).  My suggestion is to measure carefully and not to count on the model it recommends fitting unless you do.  Several different size radiators on our trucks and there is no guarantee that what is there now is original.

Fair enough. I will triple check the size and see what happens. This will probably get pushed into a spring project, but I will report back on here!

Yes, I replaced my copper 4 row with one of these in front of a BBC that's pretty stout and so far so good. Just get new mounts and you may need to modify your core support bracket(s) to properly secure the radiator.

Sounds like a small price to pay for nice new radiator and electric fans if minimal mounts etc need to be fabbed.
