I have a 64 J88 parts car. It has a radiator of unknown quality. Where are you located?

If JP's deal doesn't work, or a 2nd person needs one [hah]
I too have a 64 J88 parts car with a very old radiator
I assume it is the original radiator, who knows?
I have had the car for oh 20 yrs now.

PS, OP, [and others] please use succinct short to the point nutshell subject lines.

Makes navigating the maze of threads easier. For this thread, for exmple, the exceedingly generic "help" tells nothing of the actual need. May I suggest something like "Need radiator for '64 J88" which sums it up nicely. Maybe mention location and/or condition requirements.

I would expect the members' offers would be best for you, but if you need another source, Bud's Salvage in Aline, OK claims to have one. 800-375-2837 or 580-463-2424.

Can you ship the tanks and let the rad shop pick the core? Or will they need the whole radiator?
Just an idea.

OEM or just a replacement radiator? Champion radiator makes a direct fit aluminum radiator that I used in my 64 Dynamic. I'm not sure if the 330 has a different orientation on the upper and lower hoses but the fit to the car was perfect.

'64 J88 has its radiator
however I see the steel frame off the tank on the RH top
No doubt needs a refurbish
better off going with new AL or the OK boneyard part I'm sure. MI is tough on steel.
