New 6 cyl. radiators, which one?
Has anybody bought either one of these?
https://www.carid.com/replace/radiator-mpn-rad284.html or https://www.carid.com/apdi/radiator-...8&url=78219899 The RAD284 one says it's a US made brass radiator, while the ADPI one says it's an aluminum one. Pic doesn't look like an aluminum radiator. I like these two because they look like the old Harrison, which in my truck is beginning to fall apart. Not enough stop leak in the world to save it.

ADPI also says:
"...Row: 1. Construction: Plastic Tank Aluminum..." https://www.carid.com/apdi/radiator-...8&url=78219899

Yep, and if you search Amazon for the RAD284 one, it says "Origin USA, multiple manufacturers".
For a few extra bucks, that may be the better choice. I wonder if they just put the wrong picture in on the other one?

Re: New 6 cyl. radiators, which one?
If you can, double check with a couple of local radiator shops to see if they have access to and better pricing on the radiator you want/need - just in case they can pass along volume/distributor pricing. On the last couple of projects, I worked with a local (to me) radiator shop that was able to get me a US Radiator part number for a lot less than retail/online pricing. It might be worth it if it saves you a few bucks on a US-made radiator.

He's right. I went to a radiator shop in Covina, CA (I think) and bought a US Radiator for $3 hundred and some odd dollars. It was listed for over $600.
First time that ever happened to me in life.

Yea, check the local radiator shop. I needed on for a 65 Mustang and he had it on the shelf for $150.
