There is a wide variation in repop radiators and I am hoping you all can shed some light on which of these is the more correct repop.

Keep in mind you're looking at stock photos there. Best I can tell, both Ground Up and Heartbeat City (and Tamraz) are selling US Radiator brand. That's what I bought, and am very happy with it. It's not a perfect 100% copy of the original, but it's darn close... looks original to my untrained eye. DR Classic I'm not sure about, but you could always call them and ask them what brand they're selling. I wouldn't be surprised if it's US Radiator as well. There just aren't a whole lot of people making these things nowadays.

I am well versed in the radiators in the above pics. They are close, but not exact. Your old radiator braces will not work on these tanks if you were thinking of using them. The core is very close to Harrison. I have been buying these radiators and having a local rad shop swap the tanks and braces with originals. This works very well (if you have an experienced rad guy). Just cut the Harrision support rectangles for a closer match :)
BTW, these all look like the same radiators to me. Buy the cheapest one (Ground-up!) :D
