Robert G. Smits Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I need a replacement radiator for my 73 Centurian and my local parts store can't find one. Does anyone know of a source. Thanks, Bob Smits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Rockauto. Buy from them or use the supplied part numbers to give the local stores some "guidance". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTX5467 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Not sure which auto supply you might be using, but they should have a source for radiators (new ones) OR could recommend a local radiator shop that does quality work with the better solder. As Old-Tank mentions, using RockAuto for a research resource can help. The typical aftermarket brand is "Modine", whose products usually are of OEM-quality (at least). The replacement radiator will not have the GM stampings (numbers) in the tanks. Keep your old radiator! Drain it and put it in a corner or similar in case the replacement radiator has some "fit" problems. NTX5467 ------------------------- Just checked the RockAuto listings. Look like the replacements are all plastic tank/aluminum core radiators. These will cool BETTER than the OEM radiators did. Prices do vary with brand. There are also some radiator sellers that you can find on the Internet, most probably with warehouses in Houston or Dallas, so ordering from them should be reasonably quick. Still, there should be some sources you can tap into in your area! Edited September 22, 2016 by NTX5467 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
