    Well, I'm really not THAT excited about it.

    Radiator on my '73 CJ5 (258/manual) is shot. What is the good and bad of replacement radiators? What's the best deal?

    Thanks

    I went with a commodity radiator from RockAuto. Just a conventional brass and copper radiator - choose the top of the line.

    I just used the plastic and aluminum one from O'Reillys. I kept the old one with the intent of having it rebuilt. But so far that old brass and copper rad has only made it as far as the back of the house where I don't have to look at it. ;) If you aren't in a rush, you might check into having yours rebuilt.
