I spent the entire day trying to get a NEW, Brass/Copper radiator for my 1980 Chevy K30 that was NOT Made in China! What a terrible disgrace for this country of ours. I can have aluminum/plastic and of course those are foreign made as well. Who would ever think that trying to get a new rad for a Chevy truck would be like getting wheel bearings for the Lunar Rover????? Oliver J. Giorgi Technical Advisor 1958 Passenger Car

Only thing I was not too happy about was its a new style aluminum/plastic tank configuration. So much for the originality in appearance. I did not have the correct tanks to recore my old one......
