Today in Drive magazine I saw that U.S. Radiator is now making NEW radiators for 1950-54 Henry j and 1952-1954 kaiser.
Their phone # is 323 826 0965.
usradiator.com is the web site.
Hope this helps someone as that is why I put it in. This is not for any gain of mine.

Thanks for the new info,
If you are good a soldering, you can by a replacement Harrison Radiator at O'reily's or Napa, the one for the 55 Chevrolet Belaire fits the 1952-54 Kaiser Deluxe and Manhattan you have to remove the tabs and reverse them to make it fit like the orig. and you have a new radiator. If you need to restore a honecomb www.thebrassworks.net can give you a quote and if need be, make you a new one. I have had them rework some of my old radiators, and mfg. a replacement for my 1917 American LaFrance and I was pleased with the work.

What is different about the '51 versus the later year Kaiser's?
-
The parts book does not show anything for a 1951 to 1952 kaiser. Therefore 1952-54 should work according to the parts books.

51-55 Kaisers all used the same radiator. Harrison date coded their rads, the upper tank will have a two digit number followed by a letter. For example, "50E' means that the rad was manufactured in May of 1950. The letter A meant January, B was February and so on. The letter "I" was not used.
