Default Retro fit early radiator to newer quick disconnect fittings

Radiator has the older screw in for the 5/8 inverted flare end for the transmission cooler.
I have a 2004 with the newer quick disconnect end. I need to know what adapter parts are needed to make the conversion.

I would start by contacting DeWitt Radiators or Davis radiators. One of them may have them, or can source them.

It's what seems to be a quick disconnect design ? I just purchased a rad, installed it and to my surprise, the line nuts are too big, so what I did is purchased barb fittings and I will tie into the rubber shock lines, the quick fit rad is around $400 I paid $120 for a new supposed non quick fit. for my 02 conv sport. I still like my 95 conv base, both are fun to drive.
quick fit that screws in, I was expecting a roto-lock or a snap-lock design, it does look like a GM fuel filter tread though, and I think it's 15mm.
why two corvettes ? just incase I forget where I parked one.
