It's heater season, these are a few before and after vintage heater core recores we did this week. 1st is from a 54 Chevy pickup, next is for an aftermarket heater in a street rod and last is from a 68 Ford Galaxie.
Radiator for an old Datsun forklift, the core and the top tank were beyond repair. We modified a tank to replace the bad one and put a new core core in it. Ready for another 50 years.
New all aluminum replacement radiator for a 1998- 2004 Ford F250 & F350 with 7.3, 6.8 & 5.4 also fits 00-04 Excursion.
Radiator for a 31 Model A. Cleaned repaired and painted.
3 Mustang radiators, the crossflow is for a 1971, we replaced the 2 row core with a 3 row core. 2nd is a recored radiator for a 1970. The 3rd is for a 1977 or 78, we cleaned and repaired.
2 GM recores, 1970 Olds Toronado and a 1963 Chevy pickup.
Fuel tank for a Ford Model T. Seams were leaking and inside was full of rust, we took it apart and beadblasted it. Then soldered it back together and installed a liner to prevent it from rusting.
Before and after pictures of a radiator for a 740B JD Skidder. We put a new core in it, repaired the tanks and fabricated new framework (Glenn's Welding helped with supplying, cutting & bending the steel for the framework, thanks for the good work)
Vintage radiator repairs, before and after cleaning and repairs on a 57 Chevy radiator and a clean and check on a 69 Mustang radiator.
This bus radiator has seen better days. We had to fabricate a new bottom frame (it is a crossflow), and repair the top frame (new weld nuts and spacer). With a new core its like new again.
This is a radiator for a 1985 Peterbilt truck. We fabricated new framework to replace the cracked and fatigued aluminum framework. We also replaced all the gaskets and fillerneck, made some minor repairs and tested it.
With the cold weather comes customers having problems with their vehicles heating and cooling systems. Both of these vehicles were having issues with poor heater performance. We isolated the heater cores and flushed them. Since the systems were so heavily contaminated we also flushed the rest of cooling system. Both vehicles left with heaters working great and cooling systems ready for sub zero temperatures.
These are a few of you radiator recores we did yesterday, painted them this morning.
Phil ended up getting quite a bit of time into repairing this radiator for an old Minneapolis Moline tractor but it's good as new now and ready for many more years of work.
Radiator from a 4880 Massey Ferguson tractor. The customer had it to 2 other radiator shops in his area over the last couple of years for overheating problems. Both of those shops flushed it instead of pulling the tanks like he had requested. This time he brought it to us which is over a 150 miles one way. This is what we found, over 60 percent restriction. Now its good as new and ready to go farming again.
We wish our families, friends and loyal customers a very happy and safe New Years celebration. May you experience happiness and prosperity throughout the whole year. We will be open 8 to 5 New Years eve and will be closed New Years Day. We hope to see you soon.
