I think that all the Lark radiators (and T-Cabs) will interchange. Only caution is on how many rows are involved.

If the tag is still soldered to the top tank, a parts book can help identify the application. As I recall, there are probably dozens of different part numbers and physically they do fit. But the question is will they cool properly? I have seen lots of six cylinder bone-yard radiators installed in V-8 cars, which explained why they always ran 'warm' with a clean block.
Yep, I have a six cylinder radiator that has staggered rows. Someday, it might get recored with a four row for V8.
