I have read a few threads about radiators that were purchased on ebay and was wondering if anyone had bought one from Reliable Radiator and if so are you happy with it. I am looking at there all aluminum tig welded 3 row radiator for 250 bucks. Its says its a "limited Lifetime Warranty". It appears to look like a quality unit however pictures can be very misleading. I know I have to replace mine as it is leaking and looks as tho it has been repaired many times.
Thanks

Paul,
Did you get one with the electric fan assembly as well. I really only want to replace the radiator. I sent them an email to see if I could purchase just a radiator so I guess I will wait to hear back from them. Yours has 2 1" tubes which they claim has more cooling then a 3 row with 5/8" tubes. I'll let you know what I find out as I am in no real hurry. Did it fit in without and modifications? Thanks for the reply.

Hey Rodney,
Last spring I bought a 3 Row Aluminum Radiator off of E-Bay. The outfit I used was Lead Foot Racing---$200.00 + shipping.
I had to remove and trim the 4 rubber bumpers that help hold the radiator in place because the new rad. was a bit thicker than the stock one.
Getting the fan shroud adjusted just right after it all went back in was tough, too.
Now that its done I'm glad I did it and my '79 runs alot cooler.
Let us know how you do with this.
