If they cant help griffin also lists one 1-800-722-3723 as does Walker 1-800-821-1970 I would NOT buy direct try to get it from a shop that deals in rods .Truck shop in cali has them in stock also but i think they are US radiator. have had good luck with all of them.Griffin is very expensive but seems to have been one of the best so far.(cooling and durability)

Wheels, PRC just sent me a list of standard size GM and Ford radiators that they now offer. E-mail me the width and height of your radiator and I'll give you a price. I also need to know if its a verticle flow or cross flow radiator. Contact me at dick@streetrodstuff.com. The new rads will be up on the sit very soon....as soon as I load them. I know you won't find a similar high quality product at a better price. Also I have never received even one complaint on a PRC radiator in the two years we've handled them.

Thats a new one to me . Who is PRC? never have seen there radaitors. How long have they been building radiators?? I think Howe and Afco got on the bandwagon also but have not used Afco yet(they allways made good racin parts) Do you have a # for them like to see there product as some of the big guys get backed up in the spring pretty good. Read your Bio Dick, used to bring tubing up from shelby ohio to your place in canton(maybe akron too) also to new departure. Thanks

Dirk have used that radiator and it fits perfect. The welding is just like art work.I have not seen any of the others that Dick talks of .But do know you wont have wasted money on a griffin(hey i dont even sell them ,so what do i have to gain LOL) I have had 2 walker radiators leak and was not happy with the service,but i guess all the big companys are like that now. Remember cheapist dont mean its good just cheap.LOL

You are right on that one, never had a problem with Griffin rads. In the garage business we always used Modine radiators, good quality and availibilty, decent prices.

I got my radiator from U.S. Radiator and I didn't open the box for a year and when I put it in I noticed there was no condensor and on the model A thats important I called them they checked the invoice and it was ordered with out a condensor but they said no problem they made me a new one and had the old radiator picked up at my home by UPS and the only charge was the additional cost of the condensor. I would buy again from them anytime good customer relations are a premium to me. I am not perfect I am just a hot rod nut....by the way the radiator is just great.

I have heard nothing but good about U.S. Radiators.
Walker used to be good, but I thing they got too big for their own good.
