    I used an Ebay aluminum GM crossflow radiator. Turned it so the tanks were top/bottom. Left the fill cap on the bottom, and used a 23LB pressure cap (on the bottom port only) then used a dodge Dakota in hose radiator cap fixture/ with a 13lb cap. Works great. And when you drain the system only take 45 seconds. The radiator was like 19x27 for something like 139.00 free shipping.
    I did have to make two flange extenders, so it would bolt up.

    will that e bay radiator just plain fit? in no way will I cut up my van. I need a rad that fits without modification . or at least the mods get done to the rad NOT the van. any experiences with this???

    unfortunately $600 is waaaay out of my price range.probably will be a huge stumbling block to other members as well. so ,,, on to the alternatives.

    I have a 1967 A100 with av-8, I would think all of the years (64-70) would all use the same size radiators? Am I right in thinking this?
