New Spectra Premium Copper Radiator for Sale CU369
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have for sale an extra Spectra Premium Copper Radiator for a 67-72 Chevy/GMC truck. Part number is CU369; which is usually available through your local Autozone or Advance Auto. Prices typically range from $190 to $250 though the local parts stores and online retailers.

I'm asking $165 shipped ground (Through Fedex or UPS or USPS) to your door within the continental U.S. If you're in Hawaii or Alaska or Canada, let me know, shipping won't be free but I'll work with ya on it.

Paypal only. First come first serve. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to get back to you tonight. Thanks for looking!

This is a 4 core radiator, correct? If so I'll take it, I just need to confirm it is a direct replacement. Is there any damage at all to it?

According to Autozone's own website, that part # corresponds to an aluminum radiator with plastic tank sides. Not copper.

Coincidentally, I just happened to be in Autozone yesterday picking up a few items related to this area of my build and inquired about a copper 4 core radiator as that's what my truck calls for. I was told Autozone does not carry Spectra's copper 4 core version. Aluminum with plastic tanks is what they offered me at a cost of $183. $165 delivered is still a good deal for this but according to the part # it's not copper.
Here it is from www.rockauto.com

They want $216 so $165 delivered is a great deal.

According to Spectra's website is should be copper with brass tanks, but my google search shows CU369 and CU369-2 available so I'm not sure what is accurate

Tad,
Can you confirm that the side tanks are brass?

That is odd because Autozone says different. I wonder which is correct? If Autozone is in fact selling a copper brass 4 core radiator for $183 that would be a steal, much like this one would be at $165 shipped. :lol:

Guys, let me set the record straight. Spectra Premium has made this part number, CU369, for years as a copper/brass OEM replacement. Within the past few years they have started manufacturing it as an aluminum core with plastic end tanks.

I will say, these aluminum ones are very hard to find. I've talked to Spectra personally about this, and only a very small percentage of this part number is aluminum, and most of them are copper in your local parts stores. I know this because I have tried to find an aluminum version 3 times through Amazon and 6 times through the local parts stores. They are both under the same part number, and the specifications are mixed throughout the internet. Some give specs on the aluminum piece, others on the copper.



I work at Autozone. Even though the computer description both at the store and online show an aluminum piece, odds are excellent the one in the store is copper.

There is no damage to the radiator whatsoever.

I just stepped out to the garage to take a good look at it, and I can see 4 cores between the fins. Again, the core thickness is 2.5".

Your first in line, send me a PM and I will send you a paypal address.

The side tanks are brass. The aluminum version of this part number is a natural aluminum finish core with unpainted plastic end tanks.

So... Is the one inyour hands that you're selling brass and copper or aluminum and plastic? I will take it if it is a 4 row brass and copper.
