Where to buy a new radiator?
Where can I get a brand new original style radiator for my 72 K/5? Just want a stock type. Nothing fancy. Won't be driving it much. Mostly garaged kept. Any good prices out there? Thanks!

Did your radiator fit correctly? With all the original brackets?

I needed BB radiator rubber isolators and top clamps... but that may have been because thats the radiator I requested and my truck was originally a small block....

Sorry for the late reply. I still haven't bought the radiator yet. I called kool radiator, and they said $230 for the aluminum, and about $400 for the brass/copper. I was looking at this one on Ebay:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/67-68...Q5fAccessories Would this one be a good choice? Or this one on Manes Truck Parts: http://www.manestruckparts.com/store...Category_ID=19

Which one would be best?? Thanks again!!

Re: Where to buy a new radiator?
Gee Wizz prices sure are different..I paid like 160 for my 4core (BBC) rad from that site I listed above ^^^ but that was in 2002 or so...
Oh and I bought the longer top mounts from ChevyDuty...I think it is called Calssic Parts or something now...
Happy Friday
