Need radiator for a 68

["Sykes Robert P." <bobsykes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interestingly enough, I tried radiators.com.  The radiator that they list for the 68 is actually for a 66.  It is a 26 inch core and the mounting brackets are wrong for the 68.  How do I know?  I just sent it back to them today.  After multiple phone calls they tell me that none of the vendors they know of make the radiator for the 68 now.  I am in the process of getting my original radiator repaired again.

Provided the top and bottom tanks are solid you can

get the core and have a radiator shop rebuild it.

That's what I had done on my '67 (with A/C).  The core

should be the same..its the 27" heavy duty (RV

service??) core listed for the 440...the Imperial used

a bigger radiator than the standard Chryslers did for

the 440.  Yet another example of Imperial superiority!

 

Alternatively, www.radiators.com (duh!) lists a 1968

Imperial radiator with A/C...shipping is free and next

day.  They are located near Syracuse, NY.
