I wish you good luck, all the ones I was able to find were in about the same condition as I had.

Check with your local radiator shop about recoring yours, might be the best way to go.

A recore from reputable shop is money well spent.There are some CHEAP cores out there.A good one the first time and yer done.

Good used radiators fall into the same catagory as good used tires and good used tin, you may get what you paid for, or not, your friend will be much happier to have a pro look at his rad, it may only need another repair , at worst a recore. I would only sell someone a new radiator is if the tanks and or side straps justified replacement.
