US Radiator cross flow feedback, dealers?

Is anyone on the site a US Radiator dealer? Does anyone have any feedback for the 55-57 cross flow radiators?

Just received my TF crossflow (w/cooler) and polished shroud with dual 11" SPAL fans/wiring from U.S. Radiator. Call them directly, and ask for Jim Allen. He was great to work with and answered all my questions.

Cheers, Jim

If you prefer to go though a dealer, the best place to find the best dealer to work with is with the manufacturer. Most are pretty good at saying who their preferred vendor in any region or area is.

Thanks Bowt1ed, let me know how you like it when you get it installed, and I'd love to see pics.

Thanks mr48chev, I'll give them a call. Thought I'd see if anyone on the forum was a dealer so I could support them. I'm planning on using the copper/brass version with the dessert cooler core, or even the triple pass ultra core. I want to get the best possible cooling set up from the start. I have a healthy big block, and I want to make sure it stays cool, even if I overkill the cooling system. I had a US Radiator Dessert Cool model in a 50 GMC years ago with a small block 406 and it would run all day in traffic sitting on the 180 thermostat temp.

Also... has anyone used the triple flow core from US Radiator? If so, what do you think of it, did it really make a difference?
