Radiator Source

Took the radiator of my H70 in for repair and the local guy won't touch it. Quoted me 2 grand for a new core. Any one know of a source for a more reasonably priced core for my radiator ?

Re: Radiator Source

A lot of the trucking industry magazines would advertise replacement Radiators for larger trucks. I remember some of the listings would include 9500 Models, but this was a while back. Try researching online. Some places may still have some available.

Edit:

A quick search online produced a few places. Although used, here is one place that has a '74 GMC 7500 Radiator for a 6V-53 yet, for $300. Scroll down the page a little to locate it:

Here is the specific ad:

Re: Radiator Source

Give them a call. Seems like a pretty good place.
