If you're talking about a 1960 ALUMINUM radiator, there's no way to restore them. The best bet there is a DeWitts reproduction. Not cheap, but the only way to go.

If you're talking about a copper/brass radiator, you can obtain a core from DeWitts which is a correct reproduction of the original core in both configuration and function. Then, just about any competent radiator shop should be able to remove and install your upper and lower tanks on it.
