Radiator recomendations 1978 c10 250
 

Hello Everybody. i have a straight six truck that needs a radiator. im just tryna see what radiators everybody has had good luck with. In a past life i would have rodded out the OG copper rad, but I dont really feel like doing that in 2022.

SPI (Spectra Premium) has always done me well. They are all plastic/aluminum now, but don't let that scare you. They fit better than the previous generation of spectra brass radiators.

Agreed.. Mine is 2 years old. No complaints.

Spectra Premium ordered. I hope it doesnt look too bad in the engine compartment. This truck sits in the garage %90 of the time, and sometimes i just drive around in it, and sometimes i used it like a truck. i would have preffered a copper radiator, but I just cant justify the expense.

You can always haze a light coating of black paint on it if its an issue for you.
