Is there a modern, readily available radiator that will bolt in easily into the original radiator brackets for a 1953 3100? I dont want to spen 350 on a new reproduction right now. Thank you.

With scrap prices what they are today even a good junk yard one will not be Cheap. If your a contributor to the stovebolt site JimCarter will give you a 10% off which isn't bad on their price of 348...or thats what it was back in April when I ordered mine. Even better at that time he giving bolters a 15% discount!
I think the ones for a 52/53 are actually the 4 row desert cooler radiators. Not all years, but I think the ones for our vehicles are.
Even re-coring one now will hit you for $250 or better.
Good luck on a find that will bolt in. If you find one PLEASE let Peggy know so it can become a tech Tip.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
