96-99 Chevy K1500 Radiator Replacement How To

Well the radiator core started leaking on us and we had to replace it so we show you step by step what we did. Overall fairly simple with basic tools.
We are definitely not professionals so follow this guide at your own risk.
Should Also be a similar process to the models and years below:
96-1998 Chevrolet C1500 4.3L/5.0
96-99 Chevy C2500 5.0L, K1500 4.3L/5.0L, K2500 5.0L
96-99 GMC C1500 4.3L/5.0L, K1500 4.3L/5.0L,

Thanks for sharing your video. I have to replace my radiator. Thinking of putting electric fans in front of radiator and taking the fan and clutch out.

@CarriageHouseCompany not yet. Found out I had cancer so going thru chemo. It's on my list when I get clean bill of health. Thinking of swapping the engine to. Short block 8 cylinder with carb. Then paint.

People call them Silverado but it's actually just K1500 they didn't call them that until the middle of 99

Actually My Truck is a 96 K1500 Silverado, Has a couple decals by the rear Windows and it also says it on my title. They did however have just a K1500 truck like you are saying that was not considered a Silverado.

I didn't know they even had them as Silverado learn something new every day thanks for the heads up I'm big Chevy guy got one lifted 4x4 and another k2500

[@BigBADSTUFF69]

Nope I had a K1500 Silverado badge from 1988, it used to be a trim level, now its the truck name.
