My radiator needs to be recorded. I would like to find a used replacement rather than recore mine with a nonstandard core.
Hi Arvin....the '55-'56 MoPar parts book shows that DeSoto shared the same radiator with Chryslers of the same years. The lower series Chrysler (Windsor) shared the fin and tube core with the Firedome and the New Yorker shared the honeycomb core with the Fireflite. This should help expand your search.
