Default Dewitt's does it again!

About a year ago, I bought a Dewitt's factory replacement style rad for my'68 327 Vette. Great rad....can't say enough about it. The rad it replaced was an older brass generic fit style that just wasn't up to the task.

This year it seems my original surge tank won't seal properly. Time for a new one. I phone Dewitt's Monday morning to order the part. They have my info on file from last year so the order is processed quickly. I arrive home from work Tuesday and the part is sitting by my front door! Barely more than 24 hours later!

This might not seem that unusual for some of you....but Dewitt's is in Michigan and I live just outside Toronto, Canada, meaning it had to go through Customs also!

Product is obviously very high quality, but this service was truly outstanding! I had expected it to take three days or more.

Way to go Tom!!

I agree. I ordered a new radiator with the dal SPAL setup. Delivery was prompt and the mounting of the fans was very proffesional in appearance. Very impressed. I had tech questions and Tom was very willing to explain in detail. I would recommend Dewitt radiators to anyone asking. They may not be the cheapest, but you definetely get what you pay for!

I purchased my radiator for my 68 with A/C from Dewitts and it was EXACTLY correct including all cutouts and everything. You can't tell it from the one that came in the car from St. Louis. Nice to have a vendor that actually has the right product and super customer service to go along with it. I would buy from them again anytime and highly recommend them.
