    I have a 1960 pickup, with a 454, I was wondering if anybody knows if a radiator from another vehicle would fit, that will be able to cool the big block? Thanks.

    WOW a 454.... Your lookin at a custom setup or at least fabricating the front end.... Most places can hook you up with a radiator That will work ... it's getting it to fit thats the catch... I believe that the widest you can install from a stock point of view is 25" across....

    I'm not sure of another model that u can use, but you can always take it to the rad shop and get the original rad re-cored to a 4 core. What do you use to cool, maybe try electric fans 2x8" or one large one, then you might not have to spend the $$$$ for a re-core and you will have the benifit of electric fan on a switch for plowing threw the water.

    Sorry i thought you had a 4x4. But the electric fans should do the job.
