Why cut the frame? Take four screws out of the top frame over the radiator, lift the old radiator over the frame to the front at the bottom and drop it out. Takes less time to do than to describe. Putting in a new one (aluminum or rebuilt old one) is just as easy as long as you push it up straight. Cock it and the protrusions on the top of the new radiator will tend to drag on the sides of the frame. Be sure to put the rubber mounts back in place so the new radiator is grounded only by the trans cooler lines to avoid electrolysis issues.

Ok I've looked at both Gene's way, seems simple enough, and I've heard for years that the "way to do this" is to cut the radiator frame. Either way seems pretty straightforward so what's the advantage of cutting the frame?
Also, if/when I ever have to replace my radiator I will replace it with one of Gene Dotson's aluminum units. Is one procedure better than the other when retrofitting an aluminum unit?
