Can anyone recommend a radiator? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BADSAM · 11-24-2011, 08:00 PM

I searched a few diff sections, but really didn't find any clear answer.

I need a new radiator for my 402/400 combo (w/ac). Can anyone recommend a good supplier/manufacturer?

I want something that will drop in.

Thanks

I got a NAPA one from a radiator shop. It was $116 cheaper than from a NAPA store. Same part number.

That tells you how much NAPA is making.

I just looked at NAPA online. Description said Aluminum core with plastic caps?

Check Rock Auto. I think a frined locally got one from there. His was for a 454 into a 66 but he is very happy with it.

I went to O'riellys.They didn't have it in stock but it was at the warehouse 20 miles down the road.IIRC it was under $200 out the door.That was a 4 core factory style copper and brass replacement.If yours isn't a 4 core,you will need to replace the mounts.4 core are spaced wider.They're easy to do.A few minutes with a hacksaw/drill and you're done.
