I was just to take the stock fitting, cut the line off below the fitting and have a AN fitting brazed to it.

In the message you left me, you said it was for a 6.2 Diesel. I have no idea what size they are. I was thinking of the 88 up body style trucks, that had oil coolers.

no just the oil, trans later and they are more straight forward and also alot more fittings are available in that size.
Thank You for the reply

Yes that is one of my thoughts also but if i dont get a good braze the first time i,m back to replacing or going to a external cooler. Thats were i want to go with this project but i need a base line on my temp gauge first, which is very difficult to install without the AN fittings. Need to measure temp on oil in a movement area not in the pan. Farmer pulling hay in field only 2-3 mph at most times. Fan on external cooler in future with fan switch.
I put a 6.2 radiator in my K5 and have looked for plugs to cap off the oil cooler. I've been to a few local hydraulics shops with the OE fitting and noone could match it up. For now, mine are just open.
I've never had my oil cooler lines off at the radiator on either of my 6.2's,so I dont knopw what threads they used in the radiator--but if they are 18mm "O" ring style fittings ,you can buy power steering hose ends with that thread and "O" ring,and maybe use that as an adapter to whatever your hooking it up too.....

Hey will that 700r4 fit a non electronic diesel in 1986?
Huh??...thought we were discussing oil cooler fittings here??..:?:
If you mean the 700R4 in my Suburban in the signature ,yes,its the original one in it that is behind a 6.2..no computer!..the trans needs work,it loses reverse after a fairly long ride and overdrive refuses to stay in..
