Default Re: Racked Radiator Shell

It looks like it is painted.

My guess is that it came from a truck that was damaged in an accident and not original to the truck the radiator came from.

You will not be able to just bend it into shape. You will have to use some body repair techniques with body hammers and dollies. And maybe some metal shrinking. If this is beyond your skill set, take it to a body shop. The metal can be stretched if in an accident and not buckled.
