Re: What submodels/years had aluminum radiators?

By 84 I'm going to guess that they had changed over to the more modern aluminum fins/plastic end tanks style of radiators. But don't quote me on that.

Anything you buy from the parts store as a stock replacement is probably going to be that style anyway, even if the original wasn't.

Re: What submodels/years had aluminum radiators?

all the '83 up thirds i have looked at the radiator of all
have had aluminum radiator core,while all the '82s i
have examined(including the original in mine)have
been copper/brass. I have heard of aluminum core on
certain'82 cars though-took one from an'82 C/F T/A,
but i am not sure if it was original.
