FWIW, I got this summer one of the US Radiator models for my '53 Bel Air, and it is gorgeous (photo below). Stamped tank, copper/brass (although they make identical models a bit cheaper in aluminum). Made in USA. My unit is essentially a stock replacement (but with integral transmission cooler - Powerglide car), and fitment is perfect, unlike some of the off-shore sourced aluminum radiators. I have used the less expensive aluminum ones in the past. No longer.

US Radiator has options for several styles, depending on original engine or swap, with or without integral transmission cooler. They have specific units for Chevy V8 swaps into the trucks.

If sourced from one of US Radiator's authorized dealers, they can beat list price by more than 30%. Just FYI, I used Todd Walton - Walton Fabrication - and recommend him for his customer service.
