I paid $550 for the last one I bought, a new Walker copper/brass.

I am a firm beliver in Walker radiators,,,

I have one in my 32 roadster,,,one in my 32 mor-door,,,one still in the box for my 32 pickup and I won a walker radiator at the nats south this year,,,,,It's going in the 54 ranch wagon,,,

Shane at Southern Rods usually has a good price,,,,

Like already said ... Walker

I have a Z series in my 32 Roadster and bought a new one for for 32 3W ... Z series with A/C ... a little pricey but they work great, fit great and last.

And like HRP said ... Shane @ Southen Rods ... always has them for a good price

Tell him Deuce or Hotrodprimer sent you ...

Just to throw one more brand into the mix, I have a Brassworks on the '27. Sorta pricey, as it had to be custom built (chopped 8.5 inches) but it has been fine for over 17 years. Has had the normal seam leaks from the radiator shaking going down the road, but only very minor ones. I was going to go with Walker, but they blew me off and told me they couldn't build one chopped that much that would run cool. The Brassworks did it and it ran cool.

I am going to go the aluminum route on the T, not sure from whom yet.

Just for reference, here is their site: www.thebrassworks.net/streetrod.html

I have had other radiators in the past besides Walker,,,,,recored originals,,,U.S. Radiator,,,and Griffin aluminum radiators,,,,,

They all did the job,,,,,My only problem with the aluminum radiators is the look,,,I don't care for the color showing through the duece grill. HRP

Yeah, I sort of wonder about that too. I am going to use an aluminum one in the T, and feel maybe I should spray the front black to tie in better. Won't know till I see how it looks in there.

Don,,,before you paint it talk to a good radiator shop man,,,,I think they mix something with the paint before spraying radiators black.

About 25 years ago I repainted a pickup and I painted my radiator black like the truck,,,,

It ran HOTTER THAN A FOUR BALLED TOMCAT! HRP

Good thought.
