Speaking of radiators,
 I may be taking a job in Pasadena this summer.  As I'll be driving my 54
Chevy 1/2 ton from Colorado to California (and back at the end of summer),
I'm thinking of replacing my old and possibly leaking radiator with one of
the "Desert Cooler" models I see in my Chevy Duty catalog (and maybe
adding in an A/C system if I have the money).
 Does anyone have any recommendations on radiators like the "Desert
Cooler," considering I'd be driving my truck in LA traffic in mid-summer?

Thanks in advance,
