I have radiators I purchased from Tom in both my 61 and 65. Never a problem with either and they dramatically lowered the temps in both cars. They look correct as well. Excellent customer service and the best radiators in the industry IMO.

Hi,
Years ago I thought I'd never see the aluminium radiator in reproduction; and then DeWitt did it. AND, did it well!
Regards,
Alan

I have one in my '73. With the original radiator, my car would get hot when stuck in traffic. Now I could idle all day with no problem. It actually runs a little too cool now (about 165). I will put a new thermostat in this winter.

In the 1400 miles that I have driven my car since installing Tom's aluminum rad and Spal fans, the fans may have run five minutes in total. This is an awesome combination that fits and is built to perfection. This is a great example of 'you get what you pay for'.

I have one in my 66. If I had a radiator go out I would definitely replace it with another Dewitts! The fit is incredible as well.

I live local to DeWitt's and stopped by the shop to pick up my aluminum rad for my '73. In stock and it fit and works well.

Tom is a great guy.

I put one in my 79 that I ordered at Carlisle last summer. The install went a lot easier than taking the original radiator out. I'm very happy with it.

I installed one in my 69 350/350 a year and a half ago and couldn't be happier.

Superior product at a very fair price.

I have a BB daul fan DeWitt for my '68 project. Being a hot rod guy I've learned you should never buy anything less than the best when it comes to radiators.
When it comes to Corvettes nobody does it better.

I always say it like that : If his radiator kept my modified big block cool with A/C on in Qatar's summer (105-110F), then it would keep your engine close to water's freezing point anywhere in USA!

Tom, I think I deserve a special discount for testing your radiator in such harsh environment!
