I guess so, but measure to be sure. Another way to check these sorts of things is to compare part numbers on Atlantic British or other sites.

Why are you wanting to install a 11 year old, aluminum radiator in your 99? Sure, it will fit but it is probably so plugged up you won't get proper cooling.

Ok, so in terms of using old parts on my oldish truck, you would not consider a used rad? If it were cheap enough and I knew I could get a few years out of it, I'd consider it.

A used rad (unless new, or rodded and acid flushed by a shop) is questionable, they have sat so long and gunk in them has turned into "concrete". If you were going used, need to have it tested and cleaned out before installing. And expect a short service life. That said, I have kicked myself for not snagging a new looking one in a D1 with a cactus emblem on it (D1's cost $$, salvage yard is $50).

D2 rad price is so much less, all that hassle may not be worth it.

Ok, sage advice. So if I'm going for a new one, I found one on autopartsonlinecanada.com for $338, I have the SALTY chassis. Is that a good price, are there any other sources that you would recommend checking out? I live near the Vermont (eastern townships) border so I could easily order from the US.

Before I buy this rad for $338, are there any other parts sources I should check out? Thanks for the help.
