Just get yourself about 10 lbs. of solder and go to town on it.

I'm with pugsy on this one, maybe 15 pounds and a bulk box of black pepper. Maybe a dozen eggs could help.
After the repair, make sure that you re-attach the rad to the
support with a couple of #14x2 1/2" self tapping screws

thanks guys, I got it fixed the next day. I got a new radiator and put it in. it aint going anywhere this time. I do need some new ruber mounts for it though. Today I got to pull a 79 bronco out of the lake with it lol.

That bronco must've had a leak in his radiator also----a big million gallon leak.
