My radiator is for a 1970's 460. Bolted up perfect, and cools mighty fine.
Check my gallery for pictures and comparisons of the old brass one with the new aluminum one side by side.

No, I went the cheapest route. It has an aluminum core with plastic tanks.

I have 66 F100 2wd core support , I have a 1976 460 going in the truck and this radiator measurements are the same. When I typed in 66 352 the same radiator part # came up for both the 76 460 and the 66 352. I will order it tomorrow and post how well it fits.

Is the hood clearance for the radiator on a 66 different than a 64?

Just wondering if the taller tanks would work in a 64.

Also, did you get the new radiator installed?

Hood should be the same for a 64 , not installed yet. I ordered it from O'Reilly's $239 plus tax and it's gloss black powder coated. It looks awesome !

Here's the link

I just called the store and ordered it , if it doesn't work for some odd reason , you can return it to O'Reilly's
