Yeah, I'm not saying I might not end up buying a replacement if I needed a radiator "like now". It's not like you pour coolant in the top and it runs out the bottom next week. In fact, one may last plenty long. But, new radiators are throw-away and old originals are rebuildable just like a QuadraJet carb. You just don't let that stuff go to scrap. If nothing else, someone will buy it if you decide it's more than you want to spend to redo.
We had Courtney's Radiator Repair right here in Mt. Airy till he retired a couple years ago. People came from all over to him. They don't make replacement radiators for everything out there. I'll have to find a new place to deal with before the need arrises.
