Radiator Sources?

Looking for a new radiator for my J10, it's a 258 so nobody has them from what I can tell. Where do you guys get your new rads?

Thanks

I got my last new radiator from ace radiators. They had an ebay auction for the radiator I wanted and I got it at a screaming price.

http://aceradiator.com/

They were really great to work with. I called them with some questions and they were really helpful and nice.

We have had good luck with www.radiators.com too...
You are really better off just calling them because the chat thing is engineered to, well I dunno. It sucks.

I put a V8 radiator in a 81 J10 258 once. Made a big difference with the cooling. Is it possible that by 81, it did not matter to the radiator support whether it was V8 or I6? I sure remember putting one in it, but that was a long time ago.

Thanks guys.

Ideally a V-8 rad would be sweet but I won't be turning the wrenches on this one.

Local rad shops...

I just dropped one in my gladiator, and when I couldn't find squat on-line I took some advice from the folks here, took the measurements of the old one and went to a local radiator shop...they matched me up one based on the measurements and she dropped right in...I had to do a small amount of fab work for bolting her up but it was pretty painless...
