Hi,

I had mine ('82) recored back in '95. The end caps reused. I don't
know if that is an option for you, try a rad shop and see what they say.

Yup, the 81 and 82 diesel radiator is different, and quite expensive.
Aircooled (well, in this case Watercooled ;)) looks like something to
try.

For folks that have a pre-83 diesel, you can install the mounts so
you can
use the more common, and cheaper 83 and up radiator.

I added some more "stop leak" and I was very surprised that it worked. I
just use this van around town, so now no hurry on the radiator.

Thanks,

Jon
