I am looking for a 1955 K bodied Studebaker radiator in good shape.
Anyone has one or knows a good shop to recore this for a good price?
Email me directly at studebaker@mac.com.

I'm sure you know this but I figure I'd point this out; there were two
different radiators for '55 and the later of the two had a deeply
ribbed tank and a 13 lb. pressure cap, if that is what you have you're
probably better off having it recored rather than using an earlier
one. I don't think this is documented anywhere but in the service
bulletins, IIRC the change was concurrent with the introduction of the
"ultra-vista" models, dropping the 224ci engine, etc.

Not necessarily, as a old style ribless radiators. However, my '55 Prez
sedan does have a ribbed one courtesy of the '55 Prez coupe at the farm.
I had a four row core put in in 2001.
