Why are H/J parts so elusive?

Seriously ....spent the last two days looking for a radiator, and Every on line reference I can find fails to even list the H/J trucks as even existing ...there are a few top kick mentions Some "C" 70 and 80 mentions but almost universally they refuse to believe I exist.

They're out there, it's just that when someone is looking for something special, that is the way it seems. We all feel that way too when it is our turn.

But that is also why you need to start your own junkyard.

Tell your wife the good news. (Lol)

Best way though is to have your radiator rebuilt, buy a good used one, or a good repair-able one.

No, it took my radiator in to the shop and he declined to fix it saying it was to bad to warantee.. checked prices on a new core and quoted me $1675 plus shipping.. plus labor.... So I just decided to fix it myself.
