my recent visit to a radiator shop
I found a 4-core on ebay for $40 ($75 with shipping). I took it to a radiator shop in my 78 F250 camper special and he said the radiator in the truck (3-core) was better -- bigger tanks and bigger dimensions. According to him, 3-core camper special radiators are the best, so I just kept the 4-core as a second. He charged me $100 to repair and recore the radiator, $400 is ridiculous when you can buy a new one for $250-$400.

Check these guys out. It appears that they even have warehouses in PA. www.performanceradiator.com
They are the only place I order rads from. Fair prices on US made. I got a Part#: 1501 for my '75 F-350 Super Camper Special 460 W/AC.
God Bless,

i had to measure the core on my radiator toget the correct one. i had the super cool in my truck. i think the core is 24 x 26. my parts truck has a 3 row 19x26 core. i used it as my ac is not installed, which sucks since i can't remember a day lately it hasn't been over 100. but the smaller 3 row works well, especially since it doesn't leak. it runs at 192 degrees as did the suoercool before it started to spit coolant.
