decided against the champion and went with a US rad instead. at $320US plus $60 shipping to my igloo, it's less than a recore and probably better. The quality looks much better than Champion or Northern imo.

Is this the one you ordered?

Good choice - Champion made in China welded tanks vs US Radiator aka CoolCraft made in USA formed tanks. Also what I chose for the '62 wagon: “Desert Cooler” aluminum 2 rows 1” tubes 14-16 fins per inch (Classic Industries MB2352A – US Radiator AL035037ANDZ)

Hot tip for ordering from Classic Industries - even though they always show "out of stock" - You can order with one of their holiday weekend discount codes - and get the sale price. Then it simply drop ships direct anyway.........

Awesome! I'd like to ad a shroud but I guess I'll have to fab something up as nothing is available for a mech fan.

New rad showed up. Looks pretty good but will need the holes elongated to fit the original mounting locations.
They dinged me another $118 COD for customs & tax...#$%$(@@)#$

I had my 26" OEM radiator triple cored for $500 back about 2 years ago in Minneapolis. Didn't know if I paid a lot or a little. Was just recommended to Toms Radiator in Anoka and went with them.
