Default 69-72 BB Rad 2nd

I have two 1139069A radiators with some fin damage on the front side which makes them 2nds and big (30%) discounts apply. These rads have the internal automatic trans cooler, so they could be used for both auto or manual. List is 559.99 $392 If your car has AC the condenser will hide all of the front damage. Full warranty.

Interested, email jcdingman@dewitts.com

That's a sweet deal.

Yes, the condenser really does hide the front of the radiator. My wife helped me drop in my new DeWitts radiator assembly and she commented how nice it looked. I re-installed the condenser and when she came back out to the garage she said....."what happened to the front of the new radiator?"

Yes, it is. I just spent 10 minutes fixing the damage and you can't really tell anything was wrong with it now.

Just spend 15 minutes on the 2nd one. Slightly more damage but came out pretty good. Take this one and I'll ship it for free!

Looks great!

Not sure if you know this Tom, but if you order a DeWitts radiator from a different source, along with other parts such as radiator hoses, they put the hoses in the radiator box and cause similar damage to the fins.

You should send John an email and let him know who's doing that. They might not be aware of it causing this issue and you can save someone else the trouble.

PS: The two rads are gone !
