1985 Bronco Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I no longer own a bullnose, but I just bought a 76 F150. I have heard the 80-86 trans cooler is double the size of a 70s one, and will bolt on my truck with the 70s brackets. Does someone have a picture of their's so I can confirm this?

Gary Lewis Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I don't have a picture because I don't have one, but I do have the factory illustration: http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/c6.html. They are on the Cooling Lines tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look to be the same with different flanges and brackets. Are the fittings different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trans cooler is hard piped, engine oil cooler is nice "flexible" hoses with a swivel joint in the lines so there is no twist problem between the engine end and the actual cooler. The connections are AN flares on both ends of the hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
