Does anyone have a good radiator they would like to sell? I've searched radiator on this forum and have come to the conclusion that they are real hard to find. Is there an alternative radiator that can be modified to fit?

Are your tanks usable? A rad shop can re core yours if you can't find a new one.

I have two radiators. The one in the truck doesnt leak but the cooling fins are really brittle and almost just crumble when you touch them. Another that I have has a pin hole leak in the center of the radiator. There is a radiator shop a couple blocks from my house I will check it out. Thanks for the info.

Spend the little extra and have a 3row core fitted to your stock tanks.
