52-54 Chev what? Model would be very helpful. You may also want to speak to a rad shop about building you one.

Take your leaky rad to a rad shop and they will fix or build you a new one.

One of your best bets, usually the rad tanks are still good and it can be recorded and finned. You also might want to try SoCal in spruce grove or google other hot rod parts outlets and buy it online, lots of aftermarket rads can be found

Without knowing where you are ... Call Dave at Northern Klassic Restoration Supplies near Devon. 780-987-3217 Dave is also known as Dr. Chev.
He might have one. He specializes in original mid 50's chev parts. He's been at it for years so I think he is still in business.

Check out Champion Radiators in USA, they make aluminum rads for your car or truck, prices aren't too bad.

Smile That was my first car.

It was a 2 tone coupe with 3 on the tree.

I saw one recently still running in Holguin Cuba. The boys had their cars parked along the trees across from the church with the hoods up. I was looking in a a deluxe 52 chev with red leather seats.

The owner asked if I wanted to drive it, and if it was all original. It was all original except the rad. They don't last forever.

Where are you at Op?
I have a selection.

If you can post a few pictures I can take a look here amongst the pile.
