I recently went thru the same dilemma with my 53 3100. I intended to have my original radiator re-cored with the three tubes but was quoted $450.00 The new Aluminum replacement was less than half that price. So I asked myself At what cost is it worth keeping things original looking? For me it was just a practical matter of saving a few bucks. Others prefer to keep it all stock but that train left a while back for me when I converted to 12 volt. Now I`m considering front disc brakes for a little more stopping power when towing.....
