36humpback Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I'm looking for an OEM radiator or an aftermarket radiator that will fit my panel. I still have a flat head engine in it. A local radiator shop wants about $2100 to fix the one I have. (it's pretty shot). I'm thinking an after market one would be a lot less. Any help or leads would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I have also posted this in the Dodge trucks section. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I bought an aluminum radiator from "Champion" a few years ago. It was for a custom application, and they had dimensions posted. Probably off shore radiator but this car is running well and doesn't overheat. And, "Yea, its got a Hemi". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Model56s Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Try Auto City Classic. They may have an aluminum radiator that could fit your application. I paid $199 for an excellent repro TIG welded aluminum radiator for my 56 Chevy truck. $2100 is many times the cost of a new radiator. I just did a Google search which returned several providers. Hemmings Classic Car also did a story on a radiator manufacturer in the South, I can't recall their name though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36DodgeRam Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Where are you located? I'm central Indiana. I have a nice stock radiator from my 36 Dodge model LC. It cooled the Flathead just fine, wouldn't cool the 331 Chrysler. Too much to try and crate and ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find a possible fit at Wizard cooling in New York. https://wizardcooling.com/i-30503946-1936-37-dodge-truck-no-tranny-cooler.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
