Only for trucks with Standard/Extra cooling, and A/C.
On that note, what’s the difference between Standard, Extra, and Super Cooling? I’m guessing it has something to do with towing capabilities and cooling the power steering / oil with steel lines looped on the TTB., etc. Is this right?

The radiators were different sizes depending on what the cooling options were. My truck, a 1984 bare bones stripper with no AC just had the small (narrowest) radiator...I think it's around 21" wide. If you had AC the radiator is about 6" wider making it more like 27". Heavy duty cooling I believe was even a little bit bigger than that...like 28-29" wide.

that's a nice find.
My '82 has no AC, but has the "Extra Cooling Package". I believe the shroud I have is not original (or if it is, it's been rigged to fit the current radiator). That's good information on the radiator widths, thank you.

I've been watching for a replacement shroud for a while as mine has a bad crack in it. By this point and time, I think a lot of them are cracked and broken.

Here’s what the bible has to say about dimensions:

Well that's interesting. Only the two different rads for the 302 between 1980-1984. Part of the "Extra Cooling" must have been for Auto Transmission, because my 21" "Standard Cooling" factory radiator did not have any ports in it for transmission fluid lines. My replacement radiator did have the trans ports, but my original Ford rad did not.

Ok I see what you are saying but lets pick a year like say 1981 like I have. 1 truck has AC the other non-AC and they have 2 different core supports and radiators. Oh never mind I forget the non-AC only has that finger shroud at the top, so what do they call that if not listed here under shroud? Dave ----
