Default What radiator is this?

My car came with a shiny radiator but I'm not sure which one. I went looking for a part number / serial / brand / Illuminati symbol / whatever the other day but couldn't find anything.

I have this 3 lousy pictures though:



Could it be a DeWitts? A DeWitts clone? I'm not sure how many similar radiators are out there.

this is the DeWitts radiator for a 75, does it match?

Hi f,
The welds on the radiator in your post appear to be quite different than the fastidious welds that the DeWitt's typically have.
Perhaps a Champion radiator?
Regards,
Alan

Yes, the welds didn't look like the quality I've seen in the DeWitts pictures; specially the prongs for the transmission oil.

The champion radiator looks much more like mine.

Based on the square tanks, I'd guess Be-Cool
