radiators for '58??
Anyone know if there are any new radiators available for '58 Super 88s?
Eventually plan to rebuild the original, but at $600-ish that may have to wait, meantime is there a new replacement that will work for less $$?
Thanks in advance...

Do a web search for a radiator repair shop in your area. I had radiator cores replaced in the past, cost was nowhere near $600. A good shop might know what alternative radiators are available. The shop near me even replaced the heater core for my 61 Oldsmobile.

Had it re-cored in correct brass at the local shop using original top and bottom tanks, exactly like original, for 500 bucks. Very happy so far. Rad shops are closing left and right, glad we still have one.
