Correct me if I'm wrong I think 409's had a three core radiator, and 4 core radiator when the car was equipped with air-conditioningMy original radiator, in my 64, was a 3 core. I believe 348's and 409's were all 3 core.
Regarding cheap Chinese aluminum radiators, how much quality do you expect for $188? These cooling tubes are epoxied rather then tig welded. They are unrepairable and become throw aways.

I'm going with the US Radiator copper core. I think the car warrants an original look.
Just found out today my workplace https://www.chevsofthe40s.com/ is a distributor.
Gotta get the part # to our buyer as soon as I decide.
What would've been stock in a '61 Turboglide car? A 3 row?
Did 4 rows come in production cars?
Here's my shroud, looks like it's made for a wider core.
Notched at the top to fit under the tank.
