I have 2 of those aluminum radiators which have the top tanks which look very original. I painted the top tanks with metal etching primer and Rustoleum semi-gloss black and it is hard to tell them from the original brass ones. Both trucks are Advance Design with 350 engines in them, and they stay within the 180 mark on the gauges. Most of the time right on the "8" of the "180", but it will hit the "0" in traffic on a hot day. Not too shabby.
