Cheap radiator/rusty radcore fix!

[Cavscout]

For those big spenders out there you may want to look away.

Okay, for the rest of us. 70 C10 with a rusty radcore and a busted radiator. Needed a new radiator but every radiator I found online was around 5-700 dollars, Ridiculous!!

I found this beauty of a radiator at Advance Auto for $99, it is a replacement for a 1985 Silverado. The exact same size as the original. But, I have a rusted out radcore, no problem.

The pictures I've attached will show my solution, cut a 2x4 to length, glue on some inter tube to stop the squeaks, paint on your favorite color, install. I got an electric fan/thermostat from my wife for my birthday from Amazon for $75, installed that as well and every thing is as cool as you please!

So, instead of a $500 radiator I have a new radiator/fan combo for $175 and a cool running truck. Take that show truck boys!!
