I really don't find it all that hard to raise the front of the GMC and drop the radiator out without cutting the frame.
We did Ken Burton's at a GMCMI rally in Delaware and I recently (in Jan) replaced my radiator by just unbolting it and dropping it out the bottom.
It didn't seem very hard and probably was a lot less work than cutting the frame and welding in hinge pieces.

Larry says he has had his radiator out "several times" since 2004. I have had mine out only once since I have owned it (37 years) and hopefully will never have to take it out again.

There must be some differences.
The mounting frame of my radiator is held by ears above and bolted to the front frame. There is (was) no room to go up with the top frame removed.
Nick's is a upgraded Kingsly and we really did look for alternatives. We found none.
