Radiator price

[ColoradoCarlisle]

Hello, we purchased a 1971FJ 55 and the Radiator was leaking in a couple areas so there was a local guy that had another Radiator in good shape
Everything is there. It would definitely need to go to a shop to have some work. Wanted to try to post the Radiator for sale to a mud member. What is a fair price for something like this?

I’m way more familiar with FJ 40s than I am with pigs

So, it's a leaking radiator that you didn't feel is was worth fixing and bought another one? I'd say, not much maybe scrap price.

not much maybe scrap price.

Then again, you can't get new OEM radiators for the 55 like you can for a 40...
But you can get new aluminium radiators.
Depends how much shop work it needs to stop leaking. Does it just need the top seam soldered or does it need a re-core?
I re-cored mine 3 times over the last 40 years. You should probably fix the leaky one up nice and save it for when the new used one gives out.
Or ask a hundred bucks for it as is.

Good advice @Pighead

OK, that’s what I was thinking in my research a new one looked like around 700 to 1000
