AZ Desert,
I'm happy for you guys that you found something from OER that works. I've had to throw everything away from Classic with that brand from windshield gaskets rear window trim to spray paint all junk

I took my radiator to town this morning and stopped at a shop that's been at this place forever and he is going to put a new three coil in it and he said it would be as good as new he said to keep the tank top and the bottom original because there are numbers on it that matches on the car and the rear end so he is going to redo it for me and I dropped the driveshaft off to get a new yoke and U joints put on it and have it balanced.:thumbsup::thumbsup2:

It is getting hard to find a good radiator shop. Nope got mine straight through OER no classic this time. Good luck on getting it with new core's. just figured after 50 year's the tank is probably as bad as the core's. :thumbsup2:

Hope that is not the fact here 69hemibeep. No went straight through OER shipping was better. It all look's the same as the old one. Will see if I am going to be sorry or not. Russ.

Speaking about radiators, it looks like they hacked in a shroud on mine. Zip tied it in place Oy Vey! I don't remember my other one having a shroud. Am I mistaken?

Mine had a hacked shroud from something else and drilled new holes. Luckily the guy that rebuilt my engine had an extra ‘69 OE shroud in the pile of parts for his ‘69 GTX he was restoring.

Dan It should have had a shroud. Someone just throwed it away or it was so bad they did not put it back on.

Yes that is what some people do to get to the fan instead of doing the job rite.

Picked up my refurbished 3 core radiator and balanced drive shaft w/slip yoke and U joints. Looks good!

Yes Sir that is looking grate. Big Block. You even got part of the tractor in the pic. Now how did it come with the vibration weight on it. Mine had the same thing. Was thinking of getting one with out it. It dose stop the feel of the drive shaft vibration through out the car. Russ. :thumbsup2::thumbsup2::thumbsup2:
