[Morgans] Morgan Heater cores

[Charlie Baldwin]

There is still one of those type radiator shops in the town where I live.  People send him radiators from all over the country.  The name of the shop is West York Radiator in York, PA.  The owner is Harry, I think.  Give him a call first to make sure he can do what you want. He also does gas tanks, repair and coating.
