Radiator Vendor Advice

[Canuck]

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with "US Radiator" rads, and if so what was the outcome? :confused:

Just returned from a holiday in the US and a vendor there offered me a good deal on one with reasonable shipping to just south of the border (North Dakota). Don't really need one yet but have been watching the prices increase almost daily and figure I can store it until needed, if the product is a good one.

Any advice is appreciated. :)

Just thought I would give a update on my quest for a radiator. After hearing numerous good reports on both US RAdiator and Rick's Radiator Service in Azula, CA, I took a chance.

Phoned Rick and ordered a rad for my A coupe, set up to cool the Buick Nailhead.

Rick told me he would order one from US Rad and it would be shipped in two to three weeks with a three to four day shipping time frame to North Dakota (a parcel service location).

What can I say, in three weeks Rick called to say he was shipping that day. Four days later the rad was in Pembina ND.

Checked the rad when I got it home and it fit into the rad shroud perfectly. Workmanship looked very good. Upper tank has raised ribs, very similar to original Ford rad. The shroud mounting brackets and mounting feet are a bit lighter gauge metal than the original, but look more than adequate.

Delivery on time, as promised, for a good price of a product that looks well made.

I would recommend dealing with Rick. If anyone is going to his shop, say HI from Jim in Manitoba and tell him thanks.
