Radiator purchase help

Post by Coach_E »

Hi all, I apologize for the dumb question, can anyone guide me to the best/price place to buy a radiator? I'm new to this old skool truck and very excited about my new 72 ranger.

TIA!

Yikes! Good question. V8 2wd F100, that's for sure. Umm... How can I make sure? Do you know the ball park of them?
