try a good radiator shop. for a reasonable price they can build you a new radiator using whatever is salvagable from yours |

Any radiator shop that does truck radiators can replace the core. I fixed my aluminum tanks where they were corroded at the flanges by sandblasting the corrosion out then repairing with JB Weld. Filed it down smooth. No problems in 7500 miles/2 years. If your core is just clogged but sound, you can rod it out yourself or have the shop do it. When you reassemble, use a good flush, then refill cooling system with DISTILLED water & proper antifreeze. Carry some distilled water for topping up & your batteries.
