I recored mine a few weeks ago for $138 in Pacifica, California (near San
Francisco). Same thing, a '68 2000 radiator into a 3-row. The estimates I
got ranged from that price to over $200. I also got a one-year guarantee
against leaks.
BTW, a tip I got is that after an engine rebuild, as in hot-tanking the engine
block, you should run the engine for a while on an old radiator. Perhaps 200
miles. Then swap in the re-cored radiator. I happen to have a spare radiator for
that. All kinds of gunk will get trapped in the (old) radiator, which can then
be recored. It seems that the hot-tanking leaves rust fragments in the water
jackets which then break free and can block up a radiator.
