for cmp rads

Garry.

It might now be a long shot, but there is a company in Winnipeg called Garry Radiators Ltd. out in St. James. When I had my 15cwt Cab 13 Chev rad recored a number of years back, the shop was located in downtown Winnipeg on Garry Street. The senior owner at that time was an ex RCEME chap who had worked in a wartime downtown RCEME Shop here in Winnipeg that was located on the current site of CBC Winnipeg. He worked on radiators in that shop and the shop also did tyre retreading for the old Military District 10.

He had a supply of NOS Chev CMP rad cores in his attic and was delighted to work on one of those rads again. I suspect it might be one of his sons running the business today. Might be worth a check.

This is a cheap option but not a option for the "rivet" counters among us.

You can buy generic new radiators these days made in china, tig welded alloy . I fitted one in the C8 , takes a bit of fiddling to fit in but it's a new radiator for a fraction of the cost of a re-core. Try ebay , mine was listed as chev hot rod radiator
