Title: Wheres the best place to find a New Radiator?
Post by: steveshay on October 01, 2009, 06:31:00 PM
I have a 79.  Where should I look.  Looking for the best quality.  What about aluminum?  Or should I stay with stock?  Thanks... Steve

Not sure about the best part, but I got mine from Napa back in Feb or so. Cost over $200, and it had to be shipped from another state. They were also listed as available (for much cheaper) on Advanced Auto's web site, but I went in to the nearest one and they couldn't find it in their system anywhere.

I know that you can get aluminum ones from places like Jeg's or Summit, but I wanted a stock one that just bolted up and I could use stock hoses without having to jury rig anything.

hth,
Russ
