Replacing Original Harrison Radiator - Any suggestions?
 
1966 351 V6 Magnum in a 1965 Suburban. Has a Powerglide transmission. Use this to pull my car trailer so it gets gets worked a bit. Has factory Harrison Radiator that is getting pretty green in places. Before I have this radiator re-cored (getting to be no radiator shops around) I was wondering if there are any "good" replacement radiators that fit. Need to be "good" quality and dependable. Aluminum? Thanks! :signthankspin:

Do you have the standard or heavy duty radiator? As far as I know the heavy duty option is taller and has the top hose in the middle.

I must say I had mine re-cored and am very happy. They messed up the paint but otherwise its solid as can be. I think the aluminum radiators are unsightly.

Thanks! - I have the HD radiator with the upper hose in the middle. Aluminum would be fine if it was good quality and fit properly. I would keep the old Harrison and hope someday to have re-cored with 3 rows.

Here's what I found on Champion Radiator. I've only used Champion once at work for a customer's El Camino. But it seems to have held up nicely for them.

Dimensions are listed, which should hopefully make it easier to verify fitment.
