Title: Old Radiator
Post by: electricalan on 2013-12-20 21:02
I replaced my stock radiator as it was shot and dumping water into the trans.The old ones top and bottom tank are in good condition.Would anybody have use for them.Since my new one is not an exact match in the tanks i thought maybe someone who wants 100% original might want them to rebuild.If not to the recycler they will go.

I know Jeff Norwell is looking for one, but it's a long way between here and there!

ya I dont know where he is at,but maybe i will look at his profile and see.If i was going to ship just the tanks i dont think it would be too much.The rest of it is not worth having.I dont want anything for it so it would just be the shipping.

I know he's out off town for a day or two and I'm posting this without his knowing. I'll let him know to check the site, it may not be worth anybody's time. Thanks HRD.

Donnie....electricalan hasn't mentioned whether it's a 6 cyl or 8cyl radiator. Outlets on them are different.

Looks good Al.
I will take it for sure... are the top and bottom tanks solid?

Yes not sure why that one side of the core went bad, but the tanks are solid and dent free.The only reason I did not try to get it rebuilt is my son went and got me a new one for a b-day present.I will keep it for you and we will plan how to get it to you.
