The $600 1988 Ranger project. A semi-serious race truck build.

Radiator? Check.

Big motor needs a big radiator. This one fits that description. It's a 1994 F250 diesel radiator. I chose it because it is big and has a lot of brackets on it that I can use to mount it and to mount fans.

It will probably be flipped over where the hose connections are on the bottom side.

I tried a bunch of different rads when I was chasing a cooling problem. What I learnt is that the bottom of the rad needs support if you plan on jumping the truck. Two of the rads showed definite signs of being bowed and they were mounted using the stock side frames. The final iteration was similar to yours, being mounted in the back, but vertical and on top of a crossmember. I don't believe you plan on doing jumps, just a heads up for any following this thread.
