Steve
Is the Rodney Red a stacked plate (Corvette style) or tube-and-fin radiator? How much did you pay, if you don't mind my asking. Any mods to the radiator shroud or rad support for mounting?

Anyone usng the sacrificial anode-type radiator cap?

Thanks
JB

Here is an email I got back from Griffin.
I don't think I will buy one of theirs....
Dear Steve,
Thank you for inquiring with Griffin. We make an all aluminum replacement radiator for your 72 Blazer . The best replacement would be made with 2 Rows 1.25 inch tube size, this will keep your engine cool and allow you to cruise town on the hottest summer day.
This radiator would bolt directly into the existing core support and requires no modification. The retail cost for this radiator is $750.00, however, I can offer you a 15% discount by ordering over the internet. Your cost would be $637.50 plus shipping. If I can assist you further please e-mail back.

Now that is like WAY to much $$ I am looking to stay in the 300 or lower department!!!
The serch continues.....If any one knows a shop that sells one lemy know!
Oh Steve, I called Jerry and left a voicemail to call me.....

JungleBoy, the Rodney Red radiators are tube and fin types. The radiator I got required a little modificatoin to the shroud, but the mods that I listed above will prevent having to modify the shroud.

Dammitol... I can't find the invoice for the radiator, but I think I paid $170 plus shipping about a year and a quarter ago. His prices have gone up since then because the aluminum cost has skyrocketed. Radiators for automatic transmission vehicles cost more because of the heat transfer unit in the passenger side tank.
