Which is pretty amazing considering if they actually looked at an original radiator, they could figure this stuff out pretty easily.

Any progress on this? Thinking about a radiator with a big block conversion on my 70 Fury. I see C-body, but then no c-bodies listed when I click individual radiator for full description. Has anyone used one of these?
C-Body.: Cold Case Aluminum Radiators
C-Body.: Cold Case Aluminum Radiators
All the models we have made are listed in both Dodge and Plymouth C-body sections of our website. We are not at the point where we can break it down by year and model. We're still matching applications based on size and configuration. If you can PM me the specifics of your radiator, I'm pretty sure we will have something that will fit right in. However, as one of the other contributors mentioned, if you want to re-use your original fan shroud, since they aren't reproduced for most C-body models, our hands are tied to testing shroud fitment. Pics and hole dimensions of the shroud would be a big help toward helping you C-body owners out.

I'm definitely in for one if you can find that one you have fits a 70 Sport Fury as well.
Tom, Can you PM me your radiator dimensions as well? A couple of pics?
You can also e-mail chrisc@coldcaseradiators.com

17.25 inches high
2.0 inches deep

Saylor, 1970furyconv's pics look the same as your unit? Maybe you could inspect yours and see if you agree.
If yes, I would definitely consider your offer. You said the radiator is wasted. Is it twisted? What is the condition of the shroud? If in useable condition, we can confirm both the radiator and shroud fitment for future C-Body owners. Just to confirm, you are looking for just the radiator...not a complete kit, right? If yes, what is your plan for a shroud for the radiator since you are donating yours to us?
These pics are excellent. Between the pics and Saylor's samples, we should be able to create a correct version.

How long does it take to create/engineer a radiator? Just wondering
If we have to make a specific C-body that can use the original fan shroud, we'll probably have to make new mounting brackets for both the rad support and the shroud. The normal timing is as follows:
Make a sample- approximate 4 weeks
Have a customer confirm fitment
Upon approval, do a production run of x amount of units 6-12 weeks depending on the time of the year.

Excellent. If this is a go, then I'm in for one.

Hi Cold Case
My hope is that with my pics and saylor's radiator, you will have a big block AC radiator that is universal 1969-72. My 1973 radiator had inlet/outlet on opposite side. I am also not sure whether mounts at radiator support are same for 1965-68 radiators. Hope someone else chimes in so you can know how many years you can cover and thus estimate demand. Ben

If you do this, you will be the only one on the market that will be able to say that your radiator is guaranteed to fit and is specific to that model C-body.
Find the niche in the market and be successful over all the other same-old's, same-old's.
The next step is for one or a couple of you guys to help us help you. We need the samples. Sounds like Saylor is going to help us out with a 68 Fury 26" AC radiator. We're ready to give it a try.

Does a 68 rad also fit 69-72 fuselage?
With all the good pics you posted, we should be able to find out. I'm encouraged that they are very similar or the same.
