Buy directly from US Radiators, they have standard core, and upgraded micro tube radiators, that look original,(no part #'s) and bolt in,.....only issuse I have with them is the clocking of the cap neck tangs,( the cap will lock at 10 and 4, instead of 9 and 3, in regard to the cap ears).......priced about $250-$500 depending on how, what,you need
Glen-Ray offerers a very nice, correct, complete radiator, if it's in your budget, $500-$1000 recommended if your a "numbers" kinda guy

Where is a good sorce to purchase a reproduction radiator for my 68 Charger? I have checked prices at Year One and they want a small forture for theirs. Can you recommend any other sites to check. Thanks Joe
Just to cover the bases...
Do you have a radiator right now for the car? A local radiator shop will put in a new core using your old end tanks and side brackets.

I purchased one from US Radiator for my '68 Barracuda and wasn't too happy with it. In addition to the cap being clocked wrong, the overflow nipple was on the wrong side and there were no tabs to hold the overflow hose like the original radiator. I had to ream the mounting holes to bolt it up. It looked like I had soldered it together,(not good). The edge of the top tank was bent a little when they installed it so they just filled the gap with solder. I went ahead and used it as I was wanting to drive the car immediately but looking back I should have returned it. It was functional but no where near 'right'. Dallas
