I  bought a rad from Bus Depot, about 5yrs ago .  Inexpensive, even with
shipping to the West coast .  Satisfactory.

My local shop gets the same radiator the BD offers (mine is the BD iteration) for
the same price, minus the shipping. If you have a local shop that you trust, check
with them first before buying any parts from our usual vendors. 
(BD radiator is $149.95) which is what I paid for mine from them in 2007.
My $0.02.....
The rest of that story for me anyway, is that many of the parts I get from our
online vendors, I just can't get locally, or at a reasonable price, so I always
check now.
