Radiator Recore

[Stumper]

Any recommendations for shops that will recore a 62' radiator? Or any place that sells parts to recore? I just picked up a radiator out of a 62' Chrysler BB and its only a two row unit (surprised the heck out of me). I don't even want to think of using it unless its a 3 core but my local shop is not sure he can locate the lower section of the top tank..

Glen ray radiator is the best place to get your radiator fixed.

I second the Glen Ray recommendation. He’s not cheap but he’ll do the job right and he stands behind his work.

Glen Ray is in transition and not taking on new work.

Get your Google going... I still have a local rad shop that recores.

Sadly, Bob is retiring.

That seems to be the norm for good shops for anything we need.

Track down a radiator shop that works on trucks, ag and industrial applications.

There's an ACME Radiator near me, been there forever and 2 days.

Probably from back in the day when phone numbers were delivered to your door in giant books with yeller pages.

I've been trying to bring everything I can there lately because once it's gone no one else will be picking up the slack.

Get an alum rad. Probably cheaper than a recore & cools better.

I bought the ebay special aluminum radiator for my 62, no complaints.

Weighs less too.

However I have other cars with stock radiators that cool fine in hot weather.

Same here. I got incredibly lucky, the kid took over for the dad. Did a great job on the GTX. Same cost as Glen Ray, but didn't have to do shipping. Talked to a fellow FBBO member at the tent this summer, and he couldn't find a single shop in Pittsburgh, went with Glen Ray.
