Non repairable, might mean they cannot solder a hole which is usually
because the brass is deteriorated too far and the repair will just move the
leak to the edge of the solder repair. Can the rad shop make a new one? A
good (willing and not disinterested) rad shop can remove the ends if they
are servicable, and install new cores. The cores are purchased in blocks,
which are cut to the size needed then soldered to the old tanks. If the
tanks are bad, only the best shops would bother to make new ones, and then
it gets expensive. I had one made years ago for my 1959 GMC Pickup tanks
and all, and because the brass for the new tanks was new and thicker, it
outlasted the rest of the truck.
Good luck
