The original radiator is still on it but the core has disintegrated and I was going to replace the whole thing. Here are the specs: Harrison 3135652 R-11A 58L For the replacement, do I need to go with 2 or 3 core, or does it make a difference? I found these on eBay: Radiator 1 Radiator 2 Radiator 3 Thanks! | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | 3 core will provide more cooling, but the extra expense shouldn't be necessary for a healthy 235

Places like Classic Parts and LMC have replacement radiators, but they are alot more expensive than the aluminum ones that I listed on eBay. Is one alot better than the other? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2015 Posts: 336 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2015 Posts: 336 | Why not take it to your local radiator shop and get it recored? if it was originally 2 row, replace it with a 2 row core.

I took it to a local automotive shop that specializes in classic cars/trucks. They have worked on it before. They are going to order me another radiator.
Thanks | | |
