Anyone use Cool Auto Parts Alumimum radiators?

[RufusTheDufus]

I found this on Ebay tonight:

TOYOTA LANDCRUISER 1978 4.2 V8 ALL ALUMINUM RADIATOR


Anyone have any experience with these radiators? The price seems too good to be true.

The 4.2 V8 thing makes me suspect.

They have a bunch of listings for similar items. Some are 3.9 V8s. The photo in the auction looks like it might be the right part. Hard to tell though. I read through their feedback and the vast majority of customers were happy. A few noted minor fitment issues in their feedback. I need to find the two negatives to see what they said.

I've decided to try one on this build.............

Bling on Bling looks pretty good.........

I bought one. I too embarrassed to run it in my truck. Other Ebayers sell the same one (chinese crap)
for about 100.00. The craftsmanship is hideous, crooked necks and fittings , wled beads that look like they were laid by a drunken sailor.
The material is noticably lighter that a Howe or Ron Davis. I think I could poke a hole in it with a blunt toothpick
