Welp, last night, I had just turned my car off and not 45 seconds later, I heard a big BOOOOSH! My radiator blew and all the stuff came out. I was curious to find out where some good deals on radiators are online, or if I was better off going to a shop. Any aftermarket radiator suggestions?

I picked up a new radiator for my 67 from radiators.com - I couldn't find it on their website, though, and when I gave them a call, they initially said that they didn't have radiators for a car that old.

However, after the friendly sales person dug around a little bit, she managed to find a Modine 3340 radiator that fit perfectly. I think I paid $200 for it.

Check NAPA, O'Reilly, Autozone, etc. I paid 120 for the radiator in my '77 F-150 and it is a big 3 row heavy duty unit...big ol sucker. I paid about 130 for one from autozone for my '66 which has been great(suprising to be autozone but true)

Even with my discount at O'Reilly, a 3-row is $235 bucks. But there's a local shop that sells the same brand, just cheaper, I can get for $205. It's a 3 row. I guess these radiators for the 69 are pretty expensive. For the 3 row anyway. I can get the 2 row for like $150.
