There is a company in PA that can make a few each week to order. I don't have the name but a local radiator shop does. The recored one of my radiators. Looks good even though the cell size is smaller than the cars. Much closer to the truck core. Have never used it so don't know how well it cools. Expect it will be very efficient.

You might try The Brass Works, I believe they are in Santa Rosa, CA.

Good deal.
The core has cells closer to the truck radiator than the passenger car. The price was reasonable compared to the BrassWorks. I was told he only would make a couple per week.

It is a radiator core manufacturer not a shop. I don't know the name my local radiator shop does.

But is best to go through your local shop as they were able to get it for a more reasonable cost. They will be repairing my original tanks then putting them on the core, total cost for all this was comparable to the cost of just the core through the filling station.
