I have a 65 f100 with the 240 six. I need to get a radiator for it and the only ones that I can find that are from LMC. for this model they are about $500. I have a radiator shop close to me but they are about the same price to repair mine. Just looking for options(cheaper). Some fabrication is not a problem.

 

Different radiator shop? 500 to repair a radiator seems awful high

 

Well, that little tube that you hookup the overflow hose to is about the only thing that's reuseable. and that was going up to a either 3 or 4 row core.

 

Well in that case either a new radiator or go to a junk yard and find a good one that needs little work. I think there are several years that will work not just 61 to 64 or 65 and 66. ND could say for sure

 

Give Performance Radiator (on the web) a call. I was able to find a 4 tube for a 460 from them.

Here is an aluminum one for a V8. I'm sure they would have one for a 6

 

Thanks Guys, The wizard cooling was about $500.00 and they didn't have one for a six. The Performance Radiator site doesn't even have the Year 65 listed but the 66 radiator looked like a good price $320 for a 3 row and $244 for a 2 row. I'll just have to check the dimensions and see if they come close.

 

They didn't have a listing for my 460 either, but were able to find one for it. I think if you just contact them they can help. I have bought a number of radiator from them over the years and have always been satisfied.

 

Have you checked your favorite local parts house. I just searched Advanced Auto because they are local for me. They list 20 from $90.00 & up. A standard 3 row is all you need in these trucks.

Where do you guys do your looking? You can buy a 50 row if you like but 3 is all you need in one of these trucks.

Whoops, my mind was playing tricks on me, thought I saw 64 somewhere.

This is the radiator I am using. Haven't fired my motor up for first time yet but recently installed it and the radiator bolted right onto stock core support. No modification. Probably the best $300 spent on my project. LOL. Hoses went right on. Trans cooler lines needed a male/male (pipe thread/flare) to go in. I highly recommend this radiator and seller. Radiator came fast. Here's what it looks like in truck.

 

Maybe he has something for your year truck! Contact the seller. Hope this helps.

 

Are there any issues to be aware of when replacing a brass radiator with aluminum regarding coolant type? Antifreeze or coolant has a lot of corrosion inhibitors but wondering if that big ole chunk of Alcoa needs something different than good ole green stuff?
