The shroud is also different allowing for a cross bar to be inserted through the upper part of the shroud.

But the relative positions of the radiator mounts to the water pumps was unchanged between cab 12 and 13. It's not uncommon to see cab 12s and 13s retrofitted with truck or carrier radiators where they don't line up. I've had to fit the wrong ones myself sometimes and if you fit the hoses first then push the radiator down into position before tightening the clamps they work OK.
