radiator shops usually have a catalog of radiators, so take measurements of what sizes you need, and see what will work or come close. You may havto make up your mounting points.
Hi, I took the radiator from my '51 Special to a shop for a leak, and the guy looked at it like it was a water moccasin. I know it's old and I asked him to try, no obligation, etc. so he agreed. But I know I might have to come up with another radiator. The brackets on the sides of the radiator are different widths, like the radiator mount was made to accommodate a larger (wider) radiator if necessary, for maybe an automatic trans, larger engine, etc. Does anyone know what other GM car's radiators will bolt up to the '51 Special front sheetmetal? It won't hurt a thing if the radiator is a little larger, as long as it cools and doesn't leak, and has the side brackets which will bolt to the Buick radiator support. Alternatively: is there another, generic sort of radiator, to which I could wire-weld the side brackets? Thanks!

Good idea; the mounting is really pretty simple after all. Thanks.
