I'm giving my dump truck a big PM as it's over due. It's had a small radiator leak for a few years and I figured now was the time since it was getting belts,hoses,w/p front seal which snow balled to timing chain and oil pan gasket and new dipstick tube. So all that said I am having a hard time finding a radiator that looks worth a dang. It had a plastic tank style which has done alright thru the years. I can't stand spending good $$ on junk that looks cheap when new. Has anyone had any luck with having one made? Copper/brass or aluminum. I talked to griffin about a custom one. Online you can find Chinese aluminum units but are they worth a crap? Atleast I can weld on them I guess.
Truck is a 95 kodiak with 5 speed and the 366 motor. Oil cooler on driver side and a 5/8th heater line on passenger on the tank.

Thanks
 
I put one from alloy works in a top kick at old job.

First unit arrived destroyed, fedex used it as a wheel chock at every stop I think. They were responsive with customer service and got a replacement shipped out quickly.

It was still doing fine when I left 2 years ago, no idea how it is now.

I have seen them advertised alot. And they have some i believe might work. May have extra holes or trans cooler but oh well

It to death. No leaks.
