Pig needs a new radiator

[clmat]

My 73 Pig needs a new radiator. I have it in the shop getting some body work. The fan chewed into the radiator and took a big chunk out. Ruined the fan as well. Question: What is a good source for a replacement radiator? Any ideas on good aftermarket radiators? I looked at "Be Cool Radiators" web page. any other ideas? I emailed with Shmukster (Mud regular), he has a used radiator, might try to find a way to get it. My question there would be what year FJ55 radiators are the same as a 1973, mine was built in 72 but is titled a 73.
Thanks, Charlie

Charlie, I think all rads for 55's are the same, only exception being the '79 model year.
Is there a rad shop near by? They can get a new core and install your existing tanks.
good luck
Paul


side note: I think there is a difference in the very early years. The rads did not come with a fan shroud, they just had a shield soldered to the top tank.
the early rads did not have a provision to bolt a fan shroud to.
pics later if I remember.

I just played this game.Searching the globe there is no repo rads out there . I ended up going to a shop and had a new core put on my tanks and bracket.
