John,
I've been having mine done at Union Radiator on Lycoming Creek Rd in williamsport, Pa. They are good guys. You would need to talk to them yourself but, if it sounds promising, I could probably arrange to have it picked up at their shop and deliver it to Reedsville. They did a nice original recore on a Coupe Express for me, as well as repairing my '63 radiator, AC evaporator and heater cores. Tell them the Studebaker guy from their uniform supplier referred you. That, and a nickel, as they say...

I would highly recommend Bill Sovitski of Elizabeth Radiator, in Elizabeth, PA. He's an SDC member who does excellent work at a fair price. I was very happy with the recore that he did for my Daytona. His number is (412) 384-5310.

JP,
In my most recent trip to the radiator shop that I use, the owner explained that the particular size of the Stude radiator core (exc. Avanti), with the "headers" (this is the half of the tank that is soldered to the top and bottom of the core) factory installed, is almost impossible to find. If you can locate one, they're priced out of site. The other alternative is to remove the header from the old core, top and bottom, and re-install it on the new "universal" core. That is what makes the job now very labor intensive. This is to the point where you could almost buy one of the "almost-fits" aluminum Chebby? radiators from Summit/Jegs and paint it black

. Good luck on your quest for the radiator.

I second what Dan just stated. The headers are almost extinct for Studebaker radiators. The guy who did mine found one in Ohio. I will get in touch with him on Monday, if you want, and find out where he got it, maybe they have another.
That seems to be the big problem in redoing Stude radiators. That, and the fact that the do not make 14 fin two row radiators any more. They have gone to 12 fin, 3 row, radiators, for better air flow. Let me know if you want me to find that out about the header.

The other problem is that copper and brass prices are about 5 times what they were just a few years ago...
