Default DeWitt radiator

Hi, All,
Thanks to the advice on the Forum I am going to buy a DeWitt's direct-fit radiator, My question is: from whom do I buy it? I've corresponded with a couple of nice gents, Wild Bill and Speedhound, whose prices are lower that Dewitt's (go figure). However, I know nothing about them, hence my post. As usual, I look forward to the advice given here.
Jim

Don't know Wild Bill, others might. Do know SpeedHound and you can't go wrong. Same goes for direct from DeWitt's which is where I've purchased my last 3. Either way. You will be good to go.

From DeWitt's (www.dewitts.com). Manufacturers never undercut their dealers' prices, or they wouldn't have any dealers to sell their product.

Cant go wrong with Speedhound. Trey was extremely helpful when I was doing my LS conversion. If I had known he was a dealer at the time I would have bought my Dewitts from him .

Jim, Thank You for considering DeWitt's for your radiator. We have many dealers for you to purchase our products from. If Trey at Speedhound is giving you a good price by all means go with him. Especially if he will help with the install.

But any good dealer will do, Wild Bill was quick on some other parts I ordered. But the Rad came right from the source. DeWitt's.

Here is what is looks like in a 66 roadster L79 327 /350

PS you don't have to paint it. Works just as well if not better.
