I have been told that the Radiator Shell on my car came off of a truck. It is steel and painted. Does anyone know where I can get the proper shell either new or used?

Aluminum '26 radiator shells in good shape are nearly impossible to find. That is why many were replaced with the steel ones from trucks. Reproductions were made many years ago but have not been available in many moons. There are some people who have started to investigate remaking the shells but the cost makes it a risky adventure. If enough people will pay what it costs to get them done then reproductions could be available again.

How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
