Aluminum Radiators
There was a thread a while back where some guys ordered some nice looking radiators from someone online at a reasonable price. It was a whole unit with 2 fans and all. Anybody got one installed with a small block? Whats the fitment like?

Re: Aluminum Radiators
Ebay, I don't have one, but I saved the link somewhere. Looks like a good deal and they are made specifically for our trucks.

Re: Aluminum Radiators
I put a aluminum rad on my 70 and it fit great. The only imperfection was that the radiator retainer bracket on the rad cap side, it didn't fit well so I had to grind down the bracket a little bit until it mounted correctly. But other than that, it cools better than a stock one. And I still have the stock fan on it.

Re: Aluminum Radiators
Has anyone used the one's from the link? Thoughts on their quality?

Re: Aluminum Radiators
I'll let you know today, because the big brown van is coming to my house.
 He makes one for the conversion (LS1 into our trucks) That's what I got, with fans. I'll stop and get rad hoses this afternoon. I'll take pictures.

Re: Aluminum Radiators
I bought one from the link two weeks ago and put it in my 72 GMC. I couldn't ask for better quality and fit.

Re: Aluminum Radiators
I am also wondering about quality. Been burnt before buying a aftermarket rad...it only lasted a year. I would ask who the manufacturer is.

Re: Aluminum Radiators
I think he said he makes them inhouse, mine showed up tonight and it looks great except the trans cooler is on what I consider the wrong side, my LS1 agrees with me. We'll see what he says.
Anyway, overall it looks to be a quallity piece and the price is very competitive. I'm happy with it except I will have to do some bending of the lines to make it work.

Re: Aluminum Radiators
OK, after emailing him he is kind of a jerk, will not even address the issues I have with the radiator.
The quality of the radiator is great, it is heavy so I can assume it is not made of thin material, it has a billit filler neck welded on the inside. very nice welds, thick hose connections, very nice fan shroud. My issues are I was told it was a drop in replacement for my motor swap and that I could use the stock trans lines. Which I can as long as I bend them 180 degrees. Anyway, buyer beware... Know what you are getting before you buy it!

Re: Aluminum Radiators
Sounds like overall for the price it might not be a bad investment.
