Radiator for 1965 K

I will need a radiator for my July 1965 Dearborn built K soon.

If I elect not to spend the "big bucks" on an original what is the closest match cosmeticly that you have found?? will the newer 3 row units fit with the factory shroud?

Shouldn't be too terribly difficult to find a Dearborn manual trans radiator. The San Jose are the big buck ones... because obviously they were also used on Shelby's.

I'ld like to have a Dearborn radiator date July/Aug 64 myself but haven't seen anything worth buying?

OK, Charles...you've given me some hope!! I would entertain one in need of re-coreing as well if I could find a correctly date coded Dearborn unitfor my July 1965 K

so a may or june would be correct dated for your car right?? San Jose cars seemed to have there radiators one or two months behind build date correct? There is an april dated one on ebay now...but its a automatic bottom..

Two to three months prior to your build date is correct.I have a Feb.64.5 Dearborn automatic radiator for May car but need a Jun.,July for my Dearborn 4 speed car?
