47-55.1 radiator question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

any one know the difference between champion radiator & champion cooling??
Their web sites look similar, products look similar & prices seem about the same. Ive tried calling both companies and phones go to voice mail.
Any experience with either company?
Thanks

There is another thread somewhere around here stating they are all owned by the same company and the radiators are all made by the same Chinese manufacture. I recently purchased one and was unsatisfied with the welds on some of it and the mounting brackets were warped from welding. I contacted the company and they shipped out a new one the same day with a return label for the old one.

I am running a champion radiator
One of these I think

https://www.championradiators.com/Am...d-v8-1955-1959

With a single large EBAY fan.

Not problems with heating as yet ...... sits right at 200-210 ......... but have only driven around streets in FL no long hauls yet.

I bought one of these for my 48. https://speedcooling.com/1948-1954-C...-Radiator.html

It looks like they are out of stock right now though.

I like the factory look of the stamped rather than flat tanks. The thing is heavy for an aluminum radiator.
