I have not heard of them.

Looks like they will require the typical amount of work to get them to sit correctly in the mounts, if those pics are representative of the piece you get. Obviously the pic is not for our trucks.
 
biggest thing i cant stand with 98% of all full aluminum rads i have seen is there is no way to index the rubber isolators on the core support for the rad to sit in and be held in with .

i am lucky and have good copper / brass units . but years ago i did have good luck swapping in a 88-89-90 new body style rad in my 87 square body . was a bolt in and the only thing was the rad cap was close to the hood but never hit . this was the aluminum / plastic tank style . lasted for years and was used when i got it .

only other thing i have seen a lot of is beat to hell in shipping . this is almost worth getting local like a chain store to save the hassle of time and energy with damaged new rad .

EDIT : looks like you were looking at the premium units . try the std replacement stuff . there exactly like what i was talking about as bolt in lines up with rubber isolators with there oem style tabs on it .
