Thanks to you both. Kaisen, please let me know his response once he looks at a side by side comparison. All of the literature for the rig checks out as a 90 FJ62(VIN, Title, etc.). The new radiator has the barbs for the tranny coolers, while the radiator which was removed has the female threaded holes. (1/2" diameter)

The new radiator is wider at the mounting holes. The old rad is 25-1/2" Center to center of the mounting holes , 20" tall, 3-1/4" deep, with a 1-1/2" inlet and 1-1/2" outlet. The fill nozzle/cap is off-set to the inside of the rad.

This might be a transition model.

I looked at the chassis and it doesn't appear that it was modified to accept the existing radiator in any way(no extra holes drilled or brackets added). The aluminum fan is definately an aftermarket and it appears that the WP was replaced at some point. There is an added "filter" canister in the inlet hose run, and an aftermarket oil cooler was mounted in front of the AC condensor. Someone had been working on this in the past as the fan shroud was already cut horizontaly(which made my life easier). I am trying to sort through whatever mods were added by previous POs.

I did a complete belt job, valve adjustment, oil change, lube, etc. and the truck runs great even with 250K on the clock. Wrenching on it in the yard is the worst part. (especially now that the remnanats of Sandy are here)
