Upgrade your GM A-Body's cooling system with a Cold Case GMA42-family aluminum radiator.

Matching fan shroud

Pair your radiator with Fast Monty's Garage dual 14-inch fan shroud for Cold Case GMA42. The shroud listing names GMA42, GMA42B, GMA42A and GMA42AB, with raw aluminum or matte black options. Shroud sold separately; fans are not included. Review fan compatibility and installation requirements in the shroud listing.

Construction and features

  • 100% TIG-welded aluminum construction
  • Two rows of 1.25-inch tubes
  • 16 fins per inch with corrugated fins for increased surface area
  • Pressure tested
  • Black Night Rider versions are listed as compatible with the original factory fan shroud

Dimensions

  • Core height: 18.5 inches
  • Core width: 29 inches for polished versions; 28.7 inches for black Night Rider versions, as listed in the supplier descriptions
  • Overall height: 18.75 inches
  • Overall width: 34.75 inches

Fitment notes

Confirm the application for your selected part before ordering. The GMA42AB supplier description lists 1968–1977 in its opening paragraph but 1968–1972 in its direct-fitment notes; that range requires confirmation. For an Oldsmobile 442 requiring a 28-inch core, the black-version descriptions direct buyers to GMA43AB instead.

Legacy part number listed for both polished versions: RPE44L.

Warranty: Limited Lifetime Warranty.
