Default Need oversized radiator

I have an '02 1500, Ext. cab, 2WD, 4.8, A/T. It came with the standard inadequate radiator. It's the shorter one: 28" x 17" x 1", 1-row. This radiator is ridiculously inadequate. Various other models use the longer 34" radiator, and some 2-row models are available. I'm lookin' for a longer 34" rad that's as thick as I can get. (The longer radiator fits.) The 34" x 17" x 1.25" is easy to find, but I'd prefer to find a 2-row, maybe with two 1" cores. I don't mind plastic tanks -- the all-aluminum rads tend to be a little pricey. I don't need fancy, I just need lots of cooling.

Can anyone recommend some radiator companies that might have what I need?

Thanks.

Might be some junk yards around you that would have trucks that were rear ended with a good radiator core?

Might try coolestradiator.com or radiatorexpress.com. Good prices, super fast shipping on both sites. Ordered one from coolestradiator on friday, got it saturday with free shipping to boot.
