Has anyone replaced original 5/8 core radiator with 1inch thick GTP radiator? If so, any problems or are they direct fit?

I replaced mine with one from a 98 Monty . It's 1 1/8 thick if I remember . I had to get the Monty lower radiated hose but everything just bolts right in and sensors are swapped fin.
The only down side is that the drain is in a different location and it is a little messier to drain the coolant out
I installed the HD 98 Monte Rad in my 00 GPGT as well. 1 3/8" thick core. Here's the write-up I did on it incl. pics.

OK guys, thnx on that info about swapping to Monty cores. However, I'm just looking to put thicker GP radiator in.
You do know the Monte is the same platform as the GP's, right? All W-bodies. But go with what you need to. I just always figure if it's broken then might as well upgrade when I can if the price is good.
Thanks FordMan, yes knew about W-bodies. Just trying to keep it simple, if I can swap thicker radiator for thin one with no mods, it makes it a no brainer.
gt and gtp swap no problem.
