What heater core did you buy??

[slikside]

Hey all,

I've got a '72 Chevy C-10 with no A.C., and I've been looking around a bit. I've seen Spectra Premium, Vista Pro, and a no namer that one of the truck suppliers sent me (Brand name was removed, I suspect, to keep people from buying the same thing for less than half as much...looked like Vista Pro to me )All of these were aluminum. Also talked to another place through 800-RADIATOR that has a copper core, but haven't actually seen it... $97 delivered...ouch!

What kind of luck has anyone had with the less expensive Spectra's and Vista Pro's?

AutoZone has a lifetime warrantee on their Spectra, but to me, the issue is not just a free replacement, it is also not having to do the work all over again in a few years. At $29.95 the price is great, and it looked a whole lot better than the other two I've seen (these things are easily damaged!), but I just wonder if it will hold up. Is the quality only 1/3 that of the originals??

Any thoughts, suggestions, and/or experiences greatly 'preciated. Thanks.
