Any idea what this radiator came from?

Just because I'm curious, can anyone identify what this radiator might be from this metal tag I found on it while doing my A/C condenser install?

Looks like it says 1030889. I had a guy at a car show once say he thought it might be out of a C body, but I didn't press him on why he thought that. It is definitely way wider than an A body as the flanges really don't even quite fit between the frame rails, it they are almost the same width. It works great and I have no complaints or reasons to swap it out, in just curious what it might actually be since I saw the tag and figured it would be good to document in case I needed to do anything with it in the future.

The top tank may have a part # stamped in it

That tag doesn't mean anything in the Mopar world. A picture of the top tank and an overall picture might tell the tale...

Okay, I wasn't sure about the tag as when I looked them up it didn't appear to be much of a Mopar thing. Lots of topics regarding them on GM stuff and maybe originality discussions, but not so much part numbers. I'll see if I can grab some pictures over lunch.

Here are some quick pictures I grabbed. I thought I remembered a number on it, but looks like it's smooth as far as I can see.

Looks like a replacement part for a 74-76 A-Body, they used 26" cores by then. There should be a date code on one of the side members...

I'll have to look closer. They had to drill new holes to make this one fit though as well as do a little work at the front of the frame rails, so would that still be an A body application? I'll see if I can get some measurements while I'm at it. Seems like it's definitely wider than it's "supposed" to be, but a tape measure will give a better idea I'm sure. I know a fair portion of the car was likely taken from an F body when I bough it. It had the big rubber leaf spring isolator boxes on the rear end, so pretty sure they grabbed the whole F body assembly. Not as sure on the engine and 4 speed that I originally bought it with, but I was thinking they were a later date code as well, though the 4 speed was still iron and non-OD.
