So I just found a great deal at Radiator.com for a brand new Nissen at $210 with FedEx shipping included. I still have to confirm that all is well after I get it the next day or so... Hope this will be of help to some of you.
that's where I got a Valeo brand that fit my SD perfectly, with a lifetime warranty (supposedly) and free shipping. Cost me $170, which I thought was a really good price. Unfortunately, it took FedEx 3 attempts to ship the radiator to me without breaking it. The amount of shipping abuse they applied was just preposterous. I'm happy with the radiator, but inspect the radiator EXTREMELY carefully before you install it, keep all shipping material and info until you are absolutely sure it's OK.
