Ordering a new radiator

Anyone have a suggested vendor to order from? I'm looking for something that looks nice but is mid to upper mind range in price.

Thanks!

I got mine from Performance Radiator Inc. Prices were the cheepest I could find at the time & they have any replacement radiator you could imagine. They have warehouses all over so I got it pretty quick.

I bought mine from Autozone recently. All copper/brass 4 core heavy duty for $239.00 free shipping. Then I got a 30 dollar gift card for ordering on line!

I just bought the same one from Auto Zone but haven't used it yet.
I installed it this past weekend and I'm doing a new engine break in this coming weekend.
How do you like the one you bought?
I had to return the first two because of damage to the fins. (Bad packaging).

I'm new to Fords and this forum by the way.

Hello everybody.

Working great so far. I was having some heating up issues and was thinking about putting in an electric fan. But the truck is been running good, right in the middle of the gauge or a little below. Probably will hold off on the electric fan.

My original radiator only had two cores and the tank was cracked.
