Thanks guys, I really wanted something that was able to use the OE fittings and be a clean install. Loved the Tru-cool but did not have the cash and kinda thought it was an overkill for my needs. I was def pleased on how well it looks. 
If anyone decides to go this route ill be more than happy to help out

Just finished up my B&M tranny cooler install, thought it turned out really nice... best thing about it was that i was able to reuse my stock OEM trans cooler lines. Its about twice the size of the OE cooler and 1 1/2 inches thick.
Cost involvede: 35.00 for the cooler on Ebay
8.00 in 1/2npt to 3/8npt reducers(2)
4.00 in a piece of 1"x1/8"x4' stick of aluminum at Lowes

Same as 70266 just open up the 5/16" flare to 1/4" NPT and use snap line fitting to transmission.

I really like the clean install you performed. Just one question is that cooler supposed to be installed fittings up or down I've heard different scenarios for that particular cooler?

I have also heard the same. But the Chevy and Ford trucks that used these stacked plates had the fittings down. The stacked plate design should purge the air through over time.

As long as cooler in series with radiator cooler ATF will warm. Use a synthetic fluid for lowest temp flow. Cooler lines are just for cooling circuit no pressure diverted from transmission operation.
