I have been trying to get my white pickup back on the road. I simply needs a radiator. I gave up on CarQuest after the third radiator that they ordered wouldn't fit. I went to Napa and ordered a radiator on Thursday. On Friday, at Napa, I found the exact same radiator that CarQuest had. THE EXACT SAME PHYSICAL RADIATOR. It said "CARQUEST SOCORRO"

Too bad it's not a computer, you could get a hacksaw and make room for it.

can you cross reference your car parts to another, newer, truck- then order a part for THAT car which will also fit yours?
I have learned from my Dad that for many cars, regardless of make, the parts are exactly interchangeable, even over a decade or so, because the same parts get reused across makes and suppliers. Ex: a '65 Olds part is needed, but my Dad has ordered a the part as a "part for a '76 Buick X"...

Try asking for the radiator to a Chevy van of the same era. The vans had slightly different radiators; these are used on the M1009 CUCVs. I think the overflow is in a different place from the p/u but it shouldn't matter.
