I have a Champion aluminum radiator for an FJ40/45. The unit is in good shape, did not appear to have any leak issues. Has ports for a transmission cooler. I don't know if this actual radiator is an odd ball or not, the tanks seem to stick out a bit far towards the engine. It would probably work best in a V8 converted truck where the fan is further away from the radiator. Maybe the brackets are welded on in the wrong spot, pictures online show the tanks pretty flush with the mounting flanges.

This unit was used in a trail repair/recovery after my fanblade ate the radiator in a water crossing. Sourced it from a Cruiser shop used and ran back out to the rig. I'm running a fan-clutch and plastic fan with 2F water pump on a 73 F engine and chassis and it would not clear the tanks with the larger plastic fan when mounted to the radiator bracket. We made it work to get the rig home. Again, radiator performed fine for getting truck 200 miles home, just don't have a use for it.

Looking for $150 or OBO, we'll have to figure out shipping. I have a decent radiator box to send it in, should ship fine.

Bump, this is a good radiator, hope I didn't scare anyone off with my description. May be headed towards Denver in the next few weeks for some building supplies, I can deliver.

I hate it when no one chimes in and it just feels like you’re talking to yourself.

The flange mounting position doesn’t look unusual to me.

Thanks Mark, I don't know if it is off or not either, as I state above I'm running a 2F waterpump and clutch in a 73, I have the smaller plastic fan unique to the pre 79 settup. Radiator was not going to work if mounted properly, we slid it inside the radiator supports and I shimmed it away from the fan with wittled down tamarisk sticks and a couple bolts, it was a trail repair. We were running the Kokepeli that spring and were outside of Cisco UT, so luckily not too far from help that day. The Colorado River was very high that year, we crossed some of the flood water to camp when the fan ate my radiator. When I repaired it all, the fan was always tight on that settup, so I moved the radiator support as far forward as I could, little more clearance now. I'm not sure how Toyota did it in the later trucks, maybe the engine mounts are shifted back slightly too?

Oh, radiator is still sitting in my garage, please come and get it, I have a huge list of things to do on my T100 this winter, need the space.
