Had sent my max-cooling rad from my '79 W150 to Glen-Ray for a recore several months ago. Told them take their time since I had an el-cheapo Spectra with plastic tank filling the bill in the meantime. I got the GR installed yesterday, and wow, what a difference. What a quality piece. The weight alone shows the quality. What a nice solid piece, and it's so nice to have the metal tank back, with part# stamp and pentastar, along with the cooling capacity. Well worth the cost. I was going to keep the spectra around for just in case situation, but quickly realized not worth the space in my garage. It felt like a feather compared to the factory recored piece.

I've had them restore a couple radiators for me and they did an amazing job.....worth every penny!

Great to deal with.Quality work.

Glenn Ray is the Mac Daddy of radiators!!!!!

Very happy with the restoration they did on mine. At the same time I had my brake booster, master cylinder, six pack carbs and radiator all sent off to be restored. The only part that didn't have to go back to be fixed again was the radiator Glen-Ray did.

I have to agree, one of the best vendors, and
the radiators look perfect, and actually cool.

Had Glen-Ray do the rad on my AAR. Beautiful work!

They do excellent work!!!!

Second that. One of the best vendors to deal with customer service wise as well.

Bob at Glen-ray is the Man. They do all my radiators. Great work and customer service.

May I ask , How much is it to recore a radiator?

It was $750 with shipping. Sounds like a lot I know, but it is a Max Cooling, and it's done right and will last me for a VERY long time versus the other junk out there now.

And yes, customer service great too. Bob called me and said "I shipped your radiator today. Give me a call when you get it installed and drive it and will square up". UH???? Seriously???? A company won't take payment until you install your radiator and drive the car and are happy with it? Wow, that's customer service!

750 ! ....

That DOES SOUND like excellent customer service ... but at what cost

A N D at what weight ? Is that a real heavy piece?

I’ve had REALLY GOOD LUCK with the aluminum core with plastic tanks as of late

I just ordered one of the reproduction tanks from Glen-ray last week. $1195 and it includes the correct mounting bolts for the radiator and the shroud, the overflow hose, the cap, and the trans cooler fittings and the correct hose clamps.
It beat the used one I saw on Ebay for $1000.
Glad to hear people are happy with the service and the quality.

The weight is the factory weight instead of the weight of the cheap plastic tank POS one that was filling in. I'm back to factory weight now. I'm not relying on luck. Plus, on a big heavy truck, I need good cooling, and I can already see the difference on the gauge, and we're not even into Summer yet. I bet I never need a radiator again. Well worth it.

Times sure have changed

The last BIG RECORE I did some years ago was like 130$.

10 yrs ago I got a local quote to recore the factory 3 row in my wagon........$450 NOT including 'labor'.

Never had it done, and continued squeaking by with a factory 2 row from another '73.

$750 don't sound bad.

I think that's also what I paid for a 3-core 22" in my first big-block A-body. But that was in 1983
Still, even allowing for inflation in the last 37 years, $750 sounds steep...

Wow, guys that think $750 is a reasonable price? You must be the guys that are resigned to thinking that it has to cost $50,000 to restore a car.
I could understand it if this was for a numbers correct, factory type restoration but for less than half, you can have an aluminum radiator that is lighter and cools just as good.
Do you just open the wallet when you buy or do you ever look to get a better value for your money?
