Very friendly, didn't balk at trying to get this right and make this new radiator happen. It's a modification of the Studebaker Coupe radiator they have in stock, with the openings rearranged to fit the truck application. I'm a very happy customer.

I've seen less expensive ones, but I went with this company after googling 1952 Studebaker truck radiator and this and another company's sites came up.
Considering I spent more than this for my Lark radiator 4 years ago being recored and was advised a new replacement brass/copper build was going to be $1100, I'm not complaining a bit.

Just watched Leo's video.
Instead of me offering my opinion, as I like to do, may I ask others' opinions please?

Sounds good to me. I was aware, it could be done, for seconds at a time I've heard to as long as a minute or two.
Honestly, the truck probably was cranked over about as long, maybe longer, as we were trying to get it to fire than as long as you saw it run. Not all in one winding up, of course.
I know the video of someone's Stude V8 on a stand I saw recently, complete with battery tray and wheels, ran it as long as we did this, maybe a little less, but not much if so. Watching that was what triggered me to quit sitting around and waiting for the radiator before we even cranked it over to try to get it to fire. You'll all know if we caused any damage, don't worry.
