My Radiator is leaking...i need to a new one

[XmikeyX]

I called Roxbury, but I havent made it out there yet as my job has kept me very busy. Im going to use them if I could just find some time to get out there.

Mike, What shop did you use?

mikey,
I have had to go to E-bay to find a spare. I used it to keep my Savoy running, and then I took my Original to a shop. I like the Original Honey Comb radiator and I want to keep her as Original as poss.

Mikey,   

My son has a '65 F---, and we could not find a new radiator for it.
The owner of the local radiator shop ordered the core from someplace
in Minnesota (I think, or somewhere up north).  When it came in, he
put the old upper and lower tanks on the new core.  Everything worked
out great.

xmikeyx, Check with Ed Symonds at Roxbury Radiator  908-637-8989. Excellent work and he stands behind it. Not far from you and he and his dad are Mopar guys.

If u can find an old time radiator shop, they can boil out the old one ,pressure test it and solder up the leaks.  I have done that a couple of times with good results.  the guy that runs our local shop has been doing it for years and looks the part--grungy, cumudgeonly, and doesn't say much.

And for a bit more money they can generally install a new core. It might not match an original "honeycomb" design but it would work.

If the tanks are really bad then the radiator may not be able to be fixed.

You might want to check with a good radiator shop.  They can typically fix any damage that's not "catastrophic" unless the core is really severely corroded.

I have a radiator from a 1953 Belvedere. The number on the radiator is 1494674K. Does anyone know of one for sale or have a parts car you can take it off of?

Any sugusstions would be great.
