    I took a ride to autokrafters today to pick up my weatherstripping kit for the car, and my quarter panels... it was a 1 1/2 hour drive each way, but i saved on shipping for those quarters. anyways, after talking a while and touring the maverick yard...he mentioned that as of last week, they started selling new aluminum radiators that are direct fit. 2 row 1" tubes... 300 plus 24.95 shipping...again, 300 sounds like a lot, but they are direct bolt in with no fabs......oh, and another thing they dont list in the book is that you can buy a whole weatherstripping kit for the car for like 300 or 350.

    just letting you know.

    $300 is good. Once you go through 3-4 attempts at installing a cheaper one, you have wasted MUCH time and materials...If i hadn't already cut my radiator support up to hold a larger radiator, I would jump on this deal...

    yes. exactly the same as our brass/copper bolt ins from factory. exact dimensions supposedly.

    yep...just ask for the complete kit. I can actually compose a list of places they got them from since they didn't take the stickers off....then you could go to that company and purchase it straight from them...might be cheaper if they deal with the public. The only thing it doesnt come with is the triangle windows since nobody makes those.... comes with pretty much everything else, except the rear quarter panel gaskets...those are separate. but the beltline, door glass run, roof rail, front and rear windshield...etc...are all there.

    This sounds good as well....

    $300.00 for the radiator sounds great. Wish I would have waited before buying Griffin direct fit.
