Re: Radiators
I ordered mine from a gentleman on E-bay. I had to ask him for the original radiator (copper style), I think it was $300? heres a link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ALL-A...em200207532574 Or LMC Truck carries them from $240 to $400 and classic parts of america carries them for about $325 to $375. I wish you the best of luck. I'm very happy with my radiator.

Re: Radiators
Has anyone bought from either of these large vendors on E-Bay?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4623332300 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7931165359 Both sellers have good feedback and both look like they might be the same radiator. Lee |

Re: Radiators
Try your local swap meets. I bought one from an actual radiator shop at a swap meet in Kansas City last fall. They were in town from St. Louis, MO. I paid a little over $200.00 and it was an original Harrison 4 core radiator, complete with new 180 degree cap and pet cock.
I can not remember the name of the company out of St. Louis, but you might try doing a search on google. Also try: www.oldchevytrucks.com www.bowtiebits.com www.lmctruck.com www.classicparts.com www.impalas.com as well as many others that offer aftermarket parts for the 4-5-6 Chevy Trucks. You might also post in Parts for Sale and I will give you some information on a good used factory Harrison 4 core radiator. Good luck with your search and I hope this information is helpful. |

Re: Radiators
Well I picked up a nice Aluminum one from Summit for $165...
It's a USA piece, and looks really nice. Althought it doesn't have a tranny cooler. I haven't had time to install it yet, though.

Re: Radiators
If you want I can check with one of our vendors and see what kind of deal I can come up with. If you are interested, what's the specs? In put, out put size? connected engine? year of truck? I have never done a radiator in the year range you have listed so I'm not sure how much info they will need to find the right part.

Re: Radiators
I bought a new Modine from a local radiator shop for $240 and installed in my 64 C10. My brother-in-law liked it so much he bought one for his 65 C10. It's a V8 radiator though...sits on top of the fram rails, not between them, so it sits a little higher and requires the V8 upper mount, which I found at a Super Chevy swap meet. The radiator does have provisions for a transmission cooler.
