Need 26" radiator dimensions urgently

kiwigtx · Jul 20, 2020

Hi guys,
If someone has a 26" radiator from a '68-'70 B-Body laying around loose, I would appreciate getting the actual dimensions from it please. This is for a good friend of mine here, and I don't have access to a similar radiator for a few weeks.

I need the dimensions between the fixing bolt holes - across, vertical and diagonal as well as the overall size of the radiator - vertical and horizontal of the core.

If anyone can help me out, please either post below, or start a Conversation with me - Private message.

Thanks in advance. :thumbsup:

I have a 26 out of a 1971 I would think the dimensions would be the same.. If so I can get those for you pretty easy.
this site says 66/74 and has dimensions for theirs.

I don't have a factory radiator to check actual core dimensions, but if it helps the mounting holes are:
('68 B-body)
Top holes 27-7/8" apart
Driver side holes top to bottom 14-7/16"
Pass. side holes top to bottom 10-1/2"

Pass. side holes are 1-1/16" from the inside edge of the opening to center of bolt
Driver side holes are 1" inside edge-center of bolt.
(I guess just call those both a 'Chrysler Inch' lol)

Here are some measurements. First picture is center to center on top 2 holes. Picture 2 is from driver side top hole to bottom. Its not exactly a mounting hole on this radiator but centered on it anyhow. and 3rd picture is the passenger side top to bottom.
