Re: 66 c10 custom Radiator

Mine is RND Fabrication. Downflow, upper inlet on the ps side and a steam tube fitting. Looks good but I don't have it running yet. Great to deal with. Decent price. Requires a bit of lead time when ordering.

Re: 66 c10 custom Radiator

I have one as well, I had to test that warranty about 3 years ago, the weld around the neck was seeping, they said send it back and they will test it, 5 days later I had a brand new one at my door

Re: 66 c10 custom Radiator

I used a Superior Radiator in my ‘51 and I plan to go with them if I ever get back to working on my “64 Suburban

Re: 66 c10 custom Radiator

I bought a RND fabrication...made in the USA and a supporting vendor to our site. Not cheap, but made like a tank.

Aluminum Escalade radiator. Have one low speed fan and stays at 160-165 in 90 degree heat.

Re: 66 c10 custom Radiator

I used the 199.99 radiator off of ebay. I asked the seller if they could put smaller inlets and outlets for the LS and they said they couldn’t. So I used the lower hose off of like a 67 cougar for the bottom hose and I made a step down adapter for the top hose

Pretty hard to beat that price.
