Need a Radiator BAD!!!

[Mass Ownage]

Hey guys. Just joined Steel Soldiers, and I must say this site is AMAZING!
I just drove my Deuce to a car show and found out my radiator has a serious leak. It looks considerably old. As I more less use my Deuce as a daily driver I need a radiator fairly quickly and at an affordable price. Any help or suggestions would be awesome.

Thanks

Your best bet would be to see if there is a radiator shop in the area that can fix it.

Maybe WreckerMan has one from a parts truck?

Its in pretty bad shape, looks like radiator stop leak and jb weld were holding it together. I don't know that I would even want to try and repair it.

I had a local shop rod & repair and almost rebuild a truck radiator for about half of what a new one cost. I would at least try there first.

if figured the money was worth the piece of mind but thats just my opinion.

a "big truck" radiator shop will cost more. If it's physically not too bad, just find a shop where old guys work. They'll know what to do. The repair might cost $200, but they will find and fix everything. A used one can cost $400+ and shipping, has to go by freight. New ones, I don't even look at the prices.

New they are $700-$800.

got my take out for 300.00 beautiful radiator.

I have no radiators for sale.
Sorry.

 

[combat32]

i got one i would sell you for 300, you have to come and get it though.

I have a depot rebuild one in Texas if you want to come and get it.

sounds like your best bet is the texas one , are you could try to get it re-paired locally . Nice to see another deuce owner thats local we have at lest 5 local guys now.

I heard Kim's Radiator in Sulphur may be able to repair it. Gonna pull it and run it by there this week.

You guys are going to laugh, but black pepper is the best stop leak.

For years as a last resort fix, it has worked well for me.

Kims radiator in Sulphur is the best around here. We use them for all the industrial stuff we have and I have brought them marine heat exchangers as well. When I show up, they always come out as they never know what i'll bring. If they cant fix it, its not repairable. Good Luck!

If you look in the tele book, youll also find one in LC, just remember to bring your own saw to cut off the required appendage(s) when paying...
