When I have a radiator with usable tanks, I will always opt for a re-core because I know of a good radiator shop in my town and the original tanks are better quality than the tanks on 'replacement' radiators. I have had good experience with Modine replacement radiators in the past, but the radiators that get offered by some radiator shops are pretty flimsy, lightweight looking affairs.



I've had radiators from Model A's, to 55 Scrubs, old Toyotas, and Fords worked on and I've learned to reuse the old tanks when possible.



When getting a re-core, you can opt for a core with the internal fins; improved cooling.

Thanks guys. I have looked all over the net today and I can't find crap. I found a Walker for about $455. Pee on that .. I saw that Desert Cooler. I'll check that out. There's a guy on Ebay has them for $380. A lot more than a '57. I asked him why and he said demand. ? He said a '57 won't fit a '56. Griffin and others have aluminum ones but I don't want to fork out $500.. Thanks again ..
