I bought a summit alum rad and some 3/16" alum plate off ebay. Bent 4 simple 90 degree brackets that gave some good coverage (like four inches wide) and had my local welding shop weld the brackets onto the radiator. I'm running it in a 68 rs convertible for about 7 years now. I have been told I should mount it with some rubber bushings to absorb the vibration, but have not done that yet. I can post a picture if it helps.

nobody really makes a kit. They do sell universal radiator mount kits but they aren't the best and typically dont make for a real clean install in every vehicle. Your best bet is making custom brackets. They dont have to be welded but its pretty cheap really.
