Default 2nd gen radiator in a first gen

i have an old 2nd gen radiator layin in the back of the garage that needs to be re-cored. i know a guy that does a real good job for a decent price only thing is; i'm currious how much work it'd be to get this radiator to fit in my truck and if anyone has done this? idk if i want to go with a stock 2nd gen or get a full on aluminum one for the first gen off of summit. in that fact if i can get a 2nd gen to fit with minimal mods i'd just do a full aluminum radiator.

yeah i started looking at dimensions shortly after i posted this... 2nd gen is wayyy too long. also if you go with the aluminum one you can get a 5500 CFM electric fan kit off of summit with dimensions that are extremely close to the first gen radiator. and i also found a site for an electric water pump so i believe i will go this route when i do my "master build" lord knows when that will be

like i said guys idk when this will happen... i have some pretty profound bills for bein 20 and fresh out of college soon as i start makin some head way i'll let you guys in on it... the cooling system on this truck needs some TLC so after a starter and alternator that's what i'll be focusing on, radiator and electric water pump first; probably still run the factory fan for awhile then i'll dust this post off and make a write up with the fan... it'll be awhile guys, makin decent money now but there's alot of everhead still
