Aluminum radiator
Is there anyone who makes a aluminum radiator that is a bolt in install in our trucks. My truck is running a little hot and I need a new radiator in a bad way.
Thanks for the help.

you can find a radiator that will fit from the big names like griffin etc... but expect to pay around 500 bucks for it. I don't recommend the griffins personally cause I don't like the fact that the radiators are epoxied rather than welded.

I would rather have it welded, the epoxy thing bothers me to.

I bought my radiator from here http://www.usradiator.com/testing.htm you might find this interesting reading. The radiators are made for each application not even a hint of running warm at this point on 100+ days. I'll see when the new motor and a/c is installed.

Yes, BeCool has a couple diferent ones for our trucks. I bought one and it fits good but I haven't ran the truck yet. Let me tell you that these radiators are very nice and work awesome. I have used them in other vehicles and so have some of my buddys. BUT they will run you around $500.00 for just the radiator. Worth it IMO.

Check Summit Racing. They have there own line of aluminum radiators and great prices. I know alot of the older Camaro guys are running them and love them. There must be one in the list that is the same size as our trucks.

My personal favorite is Ron Davis . They build them for your application. Anything from radiator to complete dual fan/shroud set up.
Edit for: I just looked at their web site. they got them under the new stuff section. 67-87 Chevy truck, 2 core (1" wide each), dual 14" fans and aliminum shroud. Fully welded, pressure tested to 32 psi, etc, etc. Here
