Not one bad thing about Bergs. Can't say the same about others.

I recently replaced the ailing radiator in my 29 CCPU. I purchased a re-cored 4 row original from Bert's in Colorado. I dealt with Steve. I can not say enough about the outstanding service I received.

Last summer we had a few days where the temperature hit 114* and no matter how hard I pushed the old girl I could not get her above 180*. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Had the same experience with Bert's. Purchased a re-cored orginal a couple of years back for my Huckster and it works great.

I have purchased 3 radiators from Bergs. 2-1929 and 1 - 1930.
No problem with any of them.
The 1930 has been installed for about 4 years and no problem
The 1929 installed has over 12,000 miles and no problem.
Give Gary Bergbower a call 618-231-3507 or 618-732-6275.
Gary is now selling new radiators also.
Good Luck
