Lol. Small world. Seems like we both have good taste in Jeeps.

No worries. I know they are cheap on AMZ, but figured if I'd rather put some beer money in your pocket v.s. Amazon.

Thanks anyways!

Looked into this previously when I was looking for a replacement for my J10. As I recall, the CJ and 6-cylinder FSJs have the similar radiator width, with different mounting. My CJ-6 radiator is about 24" wide, and the 6-cylinder 258 FSJ radiator is about 26" wide. Both mount into the core support; the FSJ radiator tilts out toward the bottom of the brackets, and the CJ radiator is parallel with the vertical of the brackets. The V8 FSJ core support is 28" wide, with the radiator a little narrower.

Also, I had my J10 radiator recored, and the core came in a box labeled "Jeep Utility." This implies that the radiator width is the same for the Utility truck and wagon, the 230 FSJs, and the later 232 and 258 FSJs.

I can appreciate the thought, but likewise, do not want to take it out of your pockets either :)
