its the side tanks made of plastic that are part of the radiator not the overflow tank.

I don't think you can buy the plastic pieces, I think you will have to replace the complete radiator.
Give Gene Culley a call at gmpartshouse he will know for sure.

I had mine replaced for $85 at the radiator shop. He had it done in a couple of hours.

The end tanks are crimped on with a gasket, and you may be just asking for more problems later by doing a partial repair,.
With the labor involved in just removing and installing the radiator, I would opt for replacing the whole radiator for a little more money up front.
