I'm looking to get technical advice for my 52's radiator. I need a new radiator for it and was wondering what people were doing for the big bolts. The truck is completely stock sporting a 248 ci motor. I was hoping to stick with something that is as close to the original as possible. I know US Radiator has radiators for the Advance Design trucks all the way up to 1 ton but nothing past that. I was curious to see if the 1 ton radiator is the same as the big bolts or if they are different.
Unfortunately, I have found that getting my radiator re-cored is going to be just as expensive if not more expensive than a new radiator.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,063 Big Bolt Forum Moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Moderator Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,063 | I replaced the one in my 58 big bolt, Performance Radiator (Tacoma, Wa) was able to order one for me.I see there is a performance Radiator in South Holland, In.
