WC 63 radiator repair

[dougimes]

Dad has the WC pictured. It has overheated since the day he loaded it off the truck.

Took the radiator into an old-timey radiator repair shop. The guy is doing to a do a proper job, take the ends off, clean it all out.... wants $450.

How does this sound? are servicable good condition avial for less. Fair price?

I have my deuce radiators ultra sounded and pressure tested for under $100. I have seen alot of crap come out of one. Might look around to save 350.

I would think $450 would get you a new core, not just a rod out.

For $450 id say that they better be putting in a new core not just cleaning it.

I took my wc radiator to a shop in Dillon SC and he said to recore it would be somewhere above $500 and he didn't recommend it because the top and bottom looked too thin. $450 sounds high for a rodding out but I havn't had it done in many years. I would try to get another price somewhere else.
