Need radiator for Towmotor lift truck

Please let me know if anyone out there has or knows where I can get a radiator for my Towmotor. It is a late '50's early '60's model 462SLP(LP gas powered) with a Continental F163 engine. It has a top tank with center inlet & also tall filler neck in top center. The outlet is on lower left of bottom tank. I measures (core size, 15"x17") 21 1/2" top of top tank to bottom of bottom tank & approx 19" wide incl side mounting flanges. The bottom also has a cutout area along bottom center to allow clearance for hydraulic pump. I have tried radiator outlets for new & no one has anything that I can find, so looking for good used, or new if you know where one is available. Appreciate any help anyone can provide.
Thanks, Bill

The core is good, I think. The bottom tank is thin & cracked on edges & already heavily soldered from previous alterations & attempts to repair. It will not hold & needs to be replaced. Rather than spot repair again, I am looking to replace whole thing if possible, since I doubt a tank would be available. Until that is done I can't pressure test rest to be sure the core & upper tank are serviceable.

Do you have the old one and why can't a radiator repair shop fix or put a new core in it?
