Replacement Radiator

Can anyone provide me with a radiator replacement alternative for my 1983 Toyota 4x4? OEM is not available.
If so, brand and part #

Well RockAuto won't let me direct link...so, it's really pretty simple.

Toyota-->1983-->pickup-->2.4L (not diesel)-->cooling system-->radiator

I'm going to buy mine from Dave's, a 3 core for around 200 from what I can remember. All metal.

Radiators

I will check that one out. Has anybody got one from Autozone or the like? They sell Spectra and it looks to be all metal?

I looked at a spectra rad first, but I decided to get the one from Dave's off road performance because it's a 3 core so it will run cooler. If I recall correctly it wasn't that much more money.

Pretty sure the radiator I got from Rock Auto was a Spectra. So if Autoslut has them, go for it! If you don't want to upgrade to a three row or anything.

I got an autozone for about $100 in 2009. Both side braces came off the top tank within 2 years.
I picked up a used aluminum 3 row with plastic tanks for $50 last summer and it runs a lot cooler.

I like the looks of the Dave's radiator. Does anybody have one? I'd like to know about the quality from somebody that has one.
