2582961 1966 C body 383 HI-alt 22"
2949055 - 1969 B body 26" 440 cars with manual tranny (This is the standard radiator for Track Pack cars). Also 383 with either tranny and A/C or 440 cars with automatic and A/C.

I think that the majority of the 440 cars with A/C got the 2949054 radiator though, as it was the max cool and it was a 3 core rather than the 2 core tha the 2949055 is.

One would think so but the 055 was the one called for.
Max cool came with axle packages and trailer towing.

Agreed, I've had two  1969 GTX's . 1st 440 4spd 3.54 dana , 2nd 440 auto with A/C , both were 055 radiators

Yeah but we know how much you like those GTX's over the Chargers Bill. 

I stand corrected. I had thought that most A/C cars has the 054, hmmmmm guess not. Maybe I just noticed when they did have it though. Yet another non important thing that I'll be staring at on all cars at shows now.

thanks for the info . so for my next question?  is what would this radiator be worth ?  the #055 one.  its in restore-able  condition .no obvious damage  and i don't know if it leaks or not .would it be worth my time and money to take it to a radiator shop and have it checked out ?  thanks Tim

I see the 054 radiator debate is still alive and well.

Geno's matrix is correct with one clarification:

                  440       440       426
                 no AC     AC       Hemi
Auto
3.23            053      055        054
3.55           055?     054       054
4.10            054      xxx        054

Manual
3.54           055       XXX        054
4.10           054       XXX        054

A 440 auto with 3.55 gears would get the 054 with or without A/C.
Plus, you couldn't get 4:10 gears and A/C

A few weeks ago I was able to copy a BUNCH of 1969 engineering documents & graphics, which would have been pretty handy to have when we started this whole 055/054 discussion.   Doug's right on the money with the corrections to the matrix:

See graph attached to this reply for a more comprehensive chart of 440/426 applications.

I totally missed the "no A/C with the SuperPerformance Axle" qualifier that's right there in the Data Book.  Correct as usual...

[69_500]

Ah so those do come in handy? 

I never knew you couldn't get an A/C car with a Dana.
