So I think this question goes here because this truck fits a few different categories of several Chevy models.

I bought the truck used in appearance it's a 1998 Chevy k1500.
It's a vortex 4 3l v6
4x4 with a manual transmission.

Chevy didn't mass produce this. They didn't make a manual 4x4 with the v6 from what ive read and heard from other people. I needed an oil pan and the k1500 oil pan didn't fit I had to get one off a blazer.

The radiator started leaking the sticker on the radiator says the date then AO 52470424. which coresponds to this radiator. https://www.wholesalegmpartsonline.com/products/RADIATOR-Radiator/3073482/52470424.html

The problem is this radiator is discontinued and I don't know enough about them to find one that will work. If I look on rockauto and type in the model truck it comes up with radiators that have 2 4 connections on the left and 3 on the right and mine doesn't have that and I can't find a radiator that wold work and I'm not trying to just buy one and hope it's right. Does anyone out their know where to get one that would work.

oh also the one for the blazer doesnt match the one in my truck my trucks radiator is bigger than the blazers so I'm just at a loss and need to fix this and don't have the money to pay someone to do it. I can do it if I could just find the part. thanks sorry for long post.

 

Used to be radiator shops, now these times I don't know, but you might try to find one that can re-core or repair yours.

 

I didn't think about that there is one it's an hour away but I'm working out in that city currently I figured they only installed them and that they didn't sell them but it's worth calling and asking.
I was hoping to be able to order one online and install myself I don't want to try and pull one from a pick lot or pay someone to find and install it. I just have no had any luck otherwise and am hoping someone recognize 's what vehicle ha's that radiator or where I can get it since I can't find one on most of the common sites. Well can't find the right one not that it's not their just can't narrow down enough.
