83 degrees in October in Ma. Not good radiator weather (2 Viewers)

[curtislow]

Me thinks I just killed my stock radiator in my 77 fj40's with the stock 2f engine. Looking for guidance and opinions on a replacement. What is the best route to go, Toyota original or aftermarket?
Seeings though this one is almost 50 years old, the Toyota ones must be pretty good. Opinions and options anyone.

I like brass because I can solder it - not an aluminium welder.

Years back I bought a new 4 core brass one for LC's on close out from Radiator King on close out at I should have worn a mask price. Its still new on the shelf as my oem 72 is still in there and working fine.

Do you have a local radiator shop that pulls the tank covers and rot/rod it out, fix any weak spots plus pressure test it and maybe even a fresh coat of paint.

There used to be one near me and I had them go through it when I was restoring this 77. Not sure what they did at the time but I think it's time for a new one and new hoses

.................... new hoses

FWIW, here are the 4 radiator hoses for my '77 FJ40:
16571-61040 - Radiator inlet (upper hose - 8/76 to 1/79 )
90460-49062 - Inlet hose clamps ID=49 (X2) (12/69 to 1/79)

16571-61050 - Radiator outlet (lower, radiator side hose - 8/76 to 7/80)
190916-01056 - Radiator outlet (lower, pump side hose - 3/69 to 7/80)
90460-58013 - Outlet hose clamps ID=58 (X3) (3/69 to 1/79)
96111-10500 - Outlet hose clamp ID=50 (X1) (3/69 to 1/79)

16261-60011 - Water pump by-pass (3/69 to 7/80)
96112-10330 - by-pass hose clamps (X2) (3/71 to 7/80)

Thank you, so those are Toyota part numbers that I can still get from the dealer?
