First Off, Thanks for the words of wisdom that Austin and Snowcrash provided. I installed the new radiator with no problems and saved probably more than $300.00. That's according to the estimate I was given. It took me about 2 1/2 hours. Thanks again,  Jack

Removed the dog bones, there are two braces on both sides at the top also removed the fans and disconnected the tranny lines, they were a little tight. (Be sure to use a line wrench for those)Removed the rad. hoses, which I should have rplaced both since I was there, that lower hose seems like it may difficult under normal circumstances. The radiator came out easily after that. Hope that helps you guys in the future. Later, Jack
