I need a new Radiator - recommendations?
« on: Jun 07, 2011, 09:21:54 PM »
As the subject says, I need a new radiator.  The local radiator shop says $200 for an aluminum core with plastic tanks.  For a copper core with brass tanks it's $425!    :yikes: 

Anybody have a recommendation where to get a good quality copper/brass radiator for a reasonable price? 

Thanks,
Dennis

I checked out the thread, and it doesn't appear that anybody is having success with that "vendor". 

Thanks,

I think a CU1430 from rockauto should fit.

Check the measurements, I think it's an inch taller that what you have.

3 row, copper/brass (so you can solder it if you have too)  (get it before they decide to change it a POS plastic/aluminum)

I plan on getting one for my 86 truck (when I finally get a refund from another place that couldn't get me one)


Don't forget the rockauto 5% discount (search the web or wait until I make a post in chit-chat)
