Looking for a stock looking radiator for 1953 f100 with flathead. Called mid fifty 4 to 5 week wait. Midwest is nearly 1,000 dollars. Anyone have any good places to get them in a shorter time frame for around 500.

 

You are in a unique position with the '53 with the flathead. 1 year manufacture for that combination. I had to replace my radiator and didn't want to spend a lot, so I went with a '52 flathead radiator and adapted it.
I see US Radiator lists them for our trucks but it looks like you have to go through a dealer. The price looks like it is in your budget?

That's in amazing shape, Josh!

 

I agree. It still has the 53 saddle attached to it as well.
it needs a new home besides in my driveway..

 

U. S. Radiator makes one for your truck in either aluminum or copper/brass. Aluminum will be cheaper. They supply from local distributors/dealers. You can do a search on their site for one near you.

The aluminum radiator for my F1 with a SBF Windsor is $450.00 through their local dealer in Phoenix, AZ.
