97 F150 4.2L Manual Trans. Radiator Replacement

I have 350k on my truck and looking at having to replace the OE radiator. I have the 5-speed manual. I have looked all over and have yet to find a new replacement radiator for the manual transmission version. Unless they are simply stock photos or I am missing something, seems they all have the ports for the automatic transmission cooler and no description indicates for manual transmission. .

Is anyone aware if there is a seller that has the MT version, or is the idea to use the AT version and plug those ports somehow? Am I looking at going to a junkyard?

Also, when I look up the radiators on RockAuto and elsewhere, they talk about 1-row or 2-row. Have an inkling what that must mean, but would appreciate a clear explanation.

Thanks for any help!

Mark

No such animal for that truck.

You need this: F65Z8005AA

RockAuto doesn't have any in at the moment, but they have generic cores:

Also the 1 vs 2 row just means more cooling capability. Here's everything about rows on radiators... https://help.summitracing.com/app/an...han-a-2-row%3F

Good luck.

Thanks a lot ManualF150. I was getting that impression. Bizarre there are AT radiators all over and no MT ones.

Appreciate the links.

I see now. The F65 is MT and F75 is AT. So they ARE using stock photos of the AT core for the MT F65 core.

I did find some Houston, TX outfit on Ebay selling what are supposed to be OEM Ford ones for $110 + Free shipping.

Thanks again!
