Might have missed it in a previous post, but who's aluminum radiator did you use?

I have been on the fence over the years on aluminum radiators.
 
Did about 4 hours of windshield time through beautiful middle Tennessee a long the Natchez trace. This spot is famous during the civil war as three Confederate generals thought one of the other ones were defending it, and the union army marched right through unopposed to Chattanooga.

Note the Coolio road names in rural Tennessee.

As you can see from that last picture, I need to make the two bolt top frame fit a four bolt base. I have a gazillion bolt holes in the tub so will just weld plugs in them when I do that.

I got this little puppy from @hyhpe and it finally closed up that backplate. Anyone know what used to go in there? I had a 1972 bench seat in a 1969 FJ40 so it didn't come with it originally.
