Help choosing replacement radiator
 
72 k5, 4x4, AC , anyone have any recommendations? I've looked at a few, but how to choose? Blazer is all stock in engine compartment. I'd like it to be a simple bolt on, I will probably stay with fan, not go electric fans. Thanks for all help!

Figure ing out who's talk is accurate and who is just selling garbage. Your radiatorsupport appear to be my answer. I will be calling after work.

I have a nice stock 4-core copper and brass radiator that I would part with if you are intersted in staying OEM. Shoot me a PM if interested.

I bought one from summit racing. It's a summit branded radiator but is made by northern. I'm not sure if it US made but the one in my Chevelle says made in the USA. This one doesn't.

Here is another one I found. They use formed tanks instead of fabricated. I don't have any experience with them, just giving options...

If I had to do all over again I would prefer to buy from him as well. I thought the summit radiator was US made until I did research. Northern has moved across the border. It's been too long to return but I would rather support a domestic parts supplier anyday so lesson learned.
