Default Dual to Single Core Radiator

Hey guys. I bought a new radiator for my truck. I had a dual core from factory and when the new radiator came in it was single core. :/ I'm new to working on my truck although I am mechanically inclined. I work for a Peterbilt dealer as a technician. I guess what I am asking is how will my shroud re-bolt up to the radiator or is it a different shroud all together? Is there any way to space the new one another inch to install the old shroud back into place? What about the over flow line off the radiator fill? How's that going to mount if I do haft to space?






































































Thanks, Noot.

I'd send it back for the two core if possible, with your truck configuration you need that extra capacity.

I've read a thread with close to the same topic but the truck was a single cab 4.9l.

Yep, don't install it. Return it and get a 2 core.
