[oletrucks] Radiator work on a 51

["Jacob, Shammy" <Shammy.Jacob@nike.com>]

I own a 51 with a 283 small block.

I noticed coolant leaking from the radiator
I removed the radiator and took it to a radiator mechanic to see if the leak
if any can be fixed. he calls me back after checking the radiator and
recommends that I replace the core. It will cost me $255. Does this seem
about right for a job like this.  Is there another way to ensure if the
whole core needs to go.
