Forced to sell my scout

[rbelflower]

72scouttwo,

Any radiator can be made. You just need to know where you want the inlet and outlet to be, Width, height and thickness. Remember, Its just a radiator...
If the others dont work out, PM me and I will see if I still have a spare... I have a 67 sitting out back (next project) and I have a "few" extra items that I can sell to help fund the project.
If you need some measurments to find an alternative, please let me know and I will be more then happy to snap some photos and do a little measuring for ya.

If you have buyers remorse and simply want to sell it, that's fine.
But I just took a radiator into my local radiator shop and he knew all about them. Said they were originally made by McCord IIRC. Said they weren't the best back then but worked.
He rodded and flowed mine and painted it up.
Less then $50 out the door.

I asked if they could be recored and he said sure. Would be about $300-350 to be made new again.

So the answer may not be what you want, but there are plenty of solutions out there.

Even an aftermarket radiator of the same size from summit racing could be made to work.

I can think of a lot of hard to find parts that may make me think about selling but a radiator would not be one.

Used ones aren't that hard to find, a few folks just offered to sell you one, and in the future, a quick post on the wanted section of the classifieds can bring great results. A bunch of us have all kinds of parts stashed away from trucks we've parted out etc.

Heck I am local and I have spare radiators as well.
Bill, can I send some old scout radiators to you and have the same thing done through your guy? Similar jobs here cost 350 each radiator!
PM me.

4WD Hardware has a 4cyl jeep radiator, Part #: CRO53000521. It has the same dimensions as my stock Scout 80, 152 radiator
Its only $289.99. So what if its for a jeep. Its a new radiator, it's cheap (for a brand new radiator) and I bet it would fit with little to no fabrication.
When/if I need a new radiator this is the one I will use. I think they also make an electric cooling fan that fits it!!!

Just a my 2 cents.

Mines, almost 50 yrs old, has 80 p.s.i. compression, leaks, and has one hell of a knock, but it still pulls like a tank. That "dude" was an uneducated idiot.....

HEY I gotta radiator out a 64 scout 80, should be good, you got the 4 banger in you're 800 right?! PM if'n you want this one!! I been trying to get rid o these parts

[74scout2]

yeah you need to call me and sell it lol, i located a junk yard with many scouts i need to head that way!!! but get the size and place another radiador about same size, it will work

[scoutboy74]

Yeah, I'd like to know which vendor (perhaps backchannel) could be obtuse enough to make such a ridiculous statement about your engine. No authorized LL vendor worth patronizing for so little as an IH logo-ed coffee mug would ever utter such rubbish.
