I recently replaced the heater core in my '50 3100.

The best deal going is Classic Parts.

Another company wanted the same amount of money for just the tubes and fins without the tanks. You are supposed to have your radiator guy use your old tanks and solder the thing together. What a pain in the a$$!

Classic parts sells the whole thing for $225. It's good quality, too. As you can see it's already assembled and ready to put in the heater housing. They sell a new switch, too.

Classic Parts 800-741-1678


Here it is. They've raised the price $50 since October.
