    I just looked on Ebay and saw a Walker Radiator for my truck and WOW! $750. I'm not a tight wad, but I can't justify that kind of money. I can get a hell of a Ron Davis Radiator for less, with fans. What type of radiator are you currently running in your 30's Chevy PU? Any tricks? I'll need a tranny cooler as well. Thanks H.A.M.B.

    what year?, i have a 45 gmc, i think they used the same rad as the late 30's chevys, when i installed my 250-6 it was to long to use the stock rad so i installed one i had laying around out of a 66 chevelle, it sits in front of where the stock rad sat. not sure if this will help you.

    My 37 Chevy Pu radiator has the stock upper and lower tanks with a modern 3 row staggered core,no wider than the stock one.It cools a big 6 just fine.I had the radiator reworked at a local radiator shop,cost about 250 bucks 10 years ago.......

    I got a 65 Mustang radiator in my truck with a 36 grill shell and my dad is using one in his 37. Get a hi-flow if your running a V-8. It also has the trans. cooler built in. bought them from Performace radiator. They probably have a store close to you. $163
