I can't seem to find a place that will do this anymore. All of the
radiator shops just replace the radiator. I have the old style brass
radiators on all four of my vehicles (74 mercedes, 84 volvo, 87
volvo, and 89 honda).

Chances are, unless the core is badly corroded, your local radiator
shop will be able to unsolder the tanks and "rod out" the core, then
solder the tanks back on.
Make SURE they either seal or remove the oil cooler while doing
this!!!! You don't want a slug of water or acid to get in the oil
sump!
"modern" aluminum core rads become junk at this stage (everything past
1983 or so).
