My 1978 250 C10 radiator sprung a leak in one of the tubes...it's been 39 years so I guess I'll let it slide .
I'm going to see if people can still be found to "rod out' brass radiators... if I can't i guess I'll have to buy a new one
I see Classic Parts has brass radiators for 400-500 bucks. i would like to stick a brass one back in since i think they are better. Plastic Aluminum ones cost about 100 bucks...but I'd rather avoid them.

I use my truck for puttering around mostly, but occasionally it works like a truck...maybe 6000 miles a year max. It's been ridiculously reliable in the 7 years I've had it, and I want to keep it that way.

Anybody got any recent words of wisdom about getting a radiator? Sources, brands to get/avoid?
