    I have had other radiators in the past besides Walker,,,,,recored originals,,,U.S. Radiator,,,and Griffin aluminum radiators,,,,,

    They all did the job,,,,,My only problem with the aluminum radiators is the look,,,I don't care for the color showing through the duece grill. HRP

    Yeah, I sort of wonder about that too. I am going to use an aluminum one in the T, and feel maybe I should spray the front black to tie in better. Won't know till I see how it looks in there.

    Don,,,before you paint it talk to a good radiator shop man,,,,I think they mix something with the paint before spraying radiators black.

    About 25 years ago I repainted a pickup and I painted my radiator black like the truck,,,,

    It ran HOTTER THAN A FOUR BALLED TOMCAT! HRP
