Re: aluminum radiators
Funny thing is my red '47 tonner pickup with the worn out flathead has an aluminum radiator in it now. The PO told me he bought the cheap two row aluminum job just so he could get the truck running and drive it onto his trailer and sell it at the Portland swap meet. I had considered capping off two of the outlets and using it, but with all the effort so far I want this to look better than that under the hood, and two rows I wouldn't be happy with. The reason I bring this up is because as a cheapo chinese radiator, I cannot believe how beautiful all those welds are. Perhaps done by robotics or highly skilled production welders?
