Tucked Aluminum Radiator – 47-54 Chevy GMC Truck

Do you need more room in the engine bay of your LS swapped 1947-1953 Chevrolet 3100 pickup or are you just fed up with the cheap imported aluminum radiators that leak or don't perform like they say they will? We have just the solution, our "tucked" radiator package gains you a substantial amount of clearance between the fan shroud and the front drive system & only requires removing the front "X" brace of the core support and drilling holes to mount in most cases.

The core for this custom built performance radiator features 2 rows of 1.25" tubes. The tubes are spaced 3/8" apart, on center. With 3/8" centers we are able to put more rows of tubes, fins, and coolant volume in the core as well as create more surface area for air to travel over; allowing for greater heat dissipation. Don't be fooled by imported budget radiators offered with more rows of tubes. Our radiator design has been proven to offer the most cooling available for the size.

These fans have a superior CFM flow to their brushed equivalents and use considerably less power. They have soft start to minimize the abuse on your electrical system and offer variable speed control so they will only run at the speed needed to cool your motor ranging from 850-2500rpm. If it is in the budget, we recommend brushless fans for any level of engine performance or style of driving.
