Jeep CJ-5 Radiator...
 

Hey Everyone,
Does anyone know of a radiator (other than the stock radiator) that
will work in a 1979 Jeep CJ-5 258 manual transmission? See, my local
junk yards have every type of car imaginable there, except for CJ's...
I don't feel like going out and spending a huge amount of cash on a new
radiator because i'm selling the Jeep. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Rebuild on the old one? $60 or so.

The radiator for your `79 fits all 6 cylinder CJ models from 1972
through 1986, auto and manual transmissions. Even though Jeep is
infamous for buying off-the-shelf parts from a wide variety of
manufacturers, I can't imagine that it fits any other make.

A new 2-core radiator should cost you between $230US and $260US.
