Reasoning would tell me, also, that if the shorter radiator cold the 216 in
a 1/2 ton that it will cool just as well in a 3/4 ton. The gray area is
when you load up the 3/4 with the 1/4 ton of capacity above the 1/2 ton
rated radiator. That's the only time I'd think you'd even POSSIBLY see an
overheating problem.
