Default 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!

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.
