hello all,

I have a friend looking for a radiator for his 1977 Dodge MB400 class C motorhome chassis. I have check rock auto and the national auto parts auto store and they only have listing for the B100, B200 and B300 vans. We have checked and they are smaller.

any suggestions for a source?

Or how much does a re-core cost for something like this?

thank you all in advance

Its appears it might be a Spectra Premium Industries Part #CU212. Here might be a replacement, if the size matches up:

Todd,

On Monday, call Detroit Radiator. They actually make radiators.
A recore will probably be less expensive, but it still won't be cheap.

Will you bring your coach to our lunch on the 22nd?

At least one RV-er was not happy with that product ... http://www.classicwinnebagos.com/forum/index.php?topic=585.0

I'd go with MC's suggestion and go to the radiator shop. Any decent shop should be able to build or re-core yours.
