    Afco makes good cheap aluminum radiators.
    not great looking, but they definately work well.

    1-800-RADIATORS. I just got a 65 mustang radiator from them for my current project. It was 100 bucks. And they have a 1 year warranty.

  10. Used a cross flow alum like speedways and made my own brackets and had the filler moved so it would work up-right.

    For Speedway's price, you can afford to fab your own brackets. My dad and I just put one in a '65 Chevelle. Only put 40 miles on it, but seems to be pretty decent. I think "True Cool" was the brand, but it had a Griffin inspection sticker on it. Must be Griffin cheaper version.

    Griffin had a truck load deal for the universal radiators. Some companies just private labeled them. Good radiators if you don't mind a little fab work.

    What kinda car is it for? I saw a beautiful coupe the other day but it had an aluminum radiator and looked like ****. It completely killed the car. If the radiator is hidden it won't matter but, if your running an early model rod and/or no hood you need to think about how it will look with a ****py, cheap, aluminum radiator. Maybe a little more money spent upfront will payoff in the long run. I just paid about $800 for my new Walker but, it's perfect and made to order with a ten year warranty. I made my decision after looking around for about a year. But it's your car.

    Edit: I got it from Rodparts Warehouse and was drop shipped from Walker in a few days.
