Does anybody know if these are the same as Dewitts uses on his radiators?

Tom would be the one to say for sure, but it sure looks like the right one

Here is just a plug for Tom. I tried to get out on a budget and bought one of the Universal Radiators from Ebay. I recieved it and could tell it was cheap and to top it off it did not even fit. The lower hose fitting hit the sway bar. So after sending it back and waiting two weeks for my money back I ordered Dewitts. I could tell it was first class as soon as I opened the box. Fit like a glove no problems. I should have got the fans also but I had some that I thought would work. Found out they were too big. Now I have to order some. I will probably call Tom and get them but these are alot cheaper. All I would need is the brackets. My luck they are probably diffrent and would not fit. So I was just curious trying to save a dollar usually ends up costing me more.

You didn't say what year and you don't have anything in your profile, but below is a pic of a Rad Tom made up for me on my 81 and the Dual Spal setup. May be different for your application.

Not sure about part numbers, but it looks to be the exact same setup I put in my '76 two summers ago. Best move I ever made in the cooling system area.

And a good price too. Get 'em!
