From my notes the 433433 rad is 75-79 Ford pickup truck w/V8 and will fit as far back as 1968.

I did not use the Packard oil cooler. I connected the trans oil cooler lines to the F radiator.

THE ONLY burchering of the Packard oem platform required 2wo 1/4" holes drilled into the lower frame rails to mount the lower radiator support bar. I believe that can be avoided with a little extra work. Maybe use the rivets that hold the cross-tie brace of the frame instead.
