Where is the best place to buy...

So on the way to work I get a bunch of steam as I pull off the freeway. Only a couple blocks to work so I go ahead and pull into the parking garage. Coolant everywhere. Had to get in, so after work met the wife and added fluid hoping to get it home. Started dripping out the radiator core. Left the cap loose (So as not to add to the leak, and headed home watching the guage all the way. Got home with no over heating but it is radiator time. Where is the best place to find a NEW radiator for my 1967 C20 W/ V8? I really would prefer a 3 core. Let me know of your experience with the people you recommend as well. Really nervous about having one shipped.

Re: Where is the best place to buy...

I got one from Autozone, but its a 4-core. First one they gave me crapped out in a few weeks, actually started bulging all over. Lifetime warranty, so they gave me a new one, and this one has been fine. Any parts house can still get radiators for our trucks. Not sure I'd recommend Auto Zone though.....

Your local auto parts store should be able to help you. No shipping and it should come with a life time guarantee.

Re: Where is the best place to buy...

May look at having yours just re-cored or repaired. Rad shops can boil, pressure test and best of all no problems with it fitting. Even if it is the same amount of coin in the very end. Usually will offer a 30-90 day warranty on their work for customer satisfaction. My experience is if it lasts that long (30-90) I'm not expecting any problems in the future.
