Welcome and I have to say the sideways radiator is rather innovative. That is some real out of the box thinking there. Those prices you were quoted were flat out robbery! Rather unique RV also. How are the tires on it? I don't know if I would fly in and just drive off in something that old.

I would research an aluminum radiator in the size you need. They make them in all kinds of universal sizes and mounting types.

 :)rotflmao :)rotflmao :)rotflmao :)rotflmao What a great adventure. What a great video.What a great story. What a Grrrrreat Rig. Don't forget to keep the pictures coming or videos. Brought back a lot of memories. We drove to Sublet Kansas from Tillsonburg Ontario Canada to pickup our 1975 Winnebago Brave. We wanted a Winnebago that never had a roof airconditioner on it as well as one that was spotless under neath. Quebec, Montreal! Wow! Buying something out of Quebec is an adventure in it's self. It's the wild west in buying stuff. You never know what your going to get until you get there. You now know why others think were bonkers. Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the funny farm. Oh! Remember here the only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

Fun video!  We have had quite a few of those "adventures" over the years.

you aint kidden about the Quebec being the wild west.    when I got there they informed me they had papers from BC where they bought it. what a mess.   bc title is an insurance document.  I don't know if I would buy out of Quebec again .
