Purchased a NEW 1965 Falcon radiator from Advanced Auto Parts. 130.00 (with my discount)... Differences:
Old Rad
1.5 inches longer.
Side flanges wider
2 tube row
New Rad
1.5 inches shorter
Side flanges shorter
3 tube row
Basicy, it's the same radiator except for the tube rows.... Okay, so fabricate extender flanges... That is what I did... Measuring height-width-thickness- while getting the distance from the fan correct. yes, did it. Now, it's on to the shock towers.
