You might also check radiatorbarn.com
I have bought both copper and aluminum/plastic radiators from them with good results. Their one core aluminum cools better than the 3 core copper!

Thanks guys for all the great input and leads! I just didn't want to run out and purchase a double whammy, throwdown, aftermarket, fabricated alum tank radiator, only to have an inspector tell me that it isn't " stock appearing". Plus I'm a little partial to having my car look correct. Thanks again. - JB -

Looks like I'll be putting my beater back together very soon. Will help to lose a few pounds from out on the front end. I don't think there will be a generic part for mine, but I'll come up with something.

A couple years ago was checking on radiators,they could get me all aluminum,the tanks looked like the tanks on copper/brass radiators,still had the grooves that stiffen them core looked like copper/brass core,looked identical except the tanks and core were welded together,if was'nt for the welds could have painted it black and passed it off as copper/brass radiator, was $80-100
I guess now would be legal

I bought a "Radiator Classic" aluminum radiator for my Plymouth Duster, it looks very much like the one I had and is 7 pounds lighter. There in Houston somewhere.
I bought it off Ebay and it cost $128.51 including shipping.

AND THE QUESTION STILL REMAINS ----- can you use any Alum radiator ? Or must it LOOK like the original factory installed radiator?
