Are C body and B body radiators interchangeable?

Sonny · Jul 26, 2020

Chance to buy a C body radiator for my ‘70 Belvedere. Is it a simple swap into a b body? Had a 26” and the C body is 26”.
Thanks

Some years, yes. Sometimes one or two holes are off - need to be redrilled. Not sure if the B body factory shrouds work.

You would have to be a numbers guy to tell ........
Lower shroud had to be "clearanced" for strut bars
That's it.

I'm using a 1968 Dodge Monoco 26" in my OEM slant six 1966 station wagon w/493. Using the shroud too.

Back in the day - when C bodies were still found cheaply, it was actually a popular swap for a B body missing it's radiator or one poorly maintained.

Actually paid $75 for it @ Carlisle about 4 yrs ago with the shroud(brand new re- cored). People see that it's a C body n walk on by......
Keeps my 11.5 CR, 460hp 383 cool in any temp all day long.
