Replacement radiators for flathead v8

Once again I am looking for advice to help with the overhaul of 2- 40 ford pickups.To keep most of the vehicles intact they are both getting their original flatheads overhauled .The old radiators are both in poor shape and to do a re-core I was quoted 800 dollars each.Can anyone give me a source for quality replacement rads(likely aluminum would be best-for improved cooling) that are made to fit the flathead.I would appreciate any help I can get.Tks Gord

Has anyone tried the Radman in Alabama-they advertise an aluminum rad to fit the flathead v8 for around 300.00 US.Gord
