@3_puppies :
Your number is correct for the original radiator. Onur provided the superseding current radiator part number, available from Toyota dealers.

Got my radiator from Conicelli Toyota, I called and asked them to check it and they said they always do and then rebox them. looks to me like the drain was floating and dented the top. No real fin damage. sucks but I think I will live with it.
I'm not sure if I would accept a new rad in that condition. At minimum borrow a pressure tester from a a/parts store or take it to a rad shop and have it checked for leaks b4 you install it.

Did some read up on aluminum Vs brass and after comparing came to the conclusion they both cool about the same.
Wound up getting a Champion aluminum a few years ago and have a couple thousand miles on it.
Have often thought maybe I should have gotten a brass but now hearing how they come beat to siht I am even happier with my choice.
The radiator came well packaged and upon close inspection found no flaws.
Besides with the 350 engine the shiny looks good and not out of place like it might with the stock six.

I put one in my ‘78, nice radiator. When I picked it up the kid behind the counter asked if it was for an old car, he thought it was very heavy! Copper 4 core. He must be used to the new tin foil, er aluminum junk!!!
Maybe I should have known this, but the Aluminum radiator from Cruiser Corps is being dropped shipped from Champion. So hopefully I have the same good luck you did in packaging. We will have to see how the Shiny Rad looks like in front of the dirty old 6.

Don't knock the six. Sometimes I still wish I had the six in mine.
If you think the bright aluminum is too much you can hit the top tank with some black paint.
