Need Radiator...where to buy?

I have a small crack on the top of my radiator. I used some jb weld on it and it lasted a bit until it started leaking from around the edges. Is there another way to fix besides buying new or adding that metal flake crap stuff to the inside? If not, where's a good place to buy? In your opinion, are salvage yard radiators trustworthy? Thnx.

Del - ya I saw those rads from napa, and they wanted like $250, too much.

Just for poops and giggles, I asked the dealer, they wanted $675. WTF is up with that? I ended up contacting a local place here in Seattle, got the oe part for $184. Much happier with that price. Thnx.
