    I have a great 47 hudson truck that Randy Mass built and installed a 308 into last year. I had a radiator "record" at a local shop and when it was installed it was full of grime and rust the shop would not stand behind it saying that to much time had elapsed between the work they did and the time of reinstallation. I am sick of messing with the old radiator and want to have a new one fabricated for the truck as she runs a bit hot during the hot summer months. Do any of you have recommendations? Is there an existing radiator that works well for this application. Is there a shop that has fabricated for you that you would use again? Any help is needed and appreciated.

    FYI

    Ironic you should ask because Butch Smith just sent me a picture of the neat Aluminum Radiator he had made for his Supercharged '47 Hudson cpe under construction complete with Trans Cooler..

    I will contact Butch to provide the details.

    C&R Radiators in Indianapolis did a great job fabricating a radiator for my stepdown. See the "Hudson Rat Rod?" thread on this forum for pics & contact info.
