Yes, only the ends are plastic on the stock radiator. Wish I could have found an all aluminum one when I had to replace mine.

How much did it run you and where did you get it? Is it a direct replacement for stock?

yes its all aluminum. no plastic tank(see attached photo first post) they run about $130 plus shipping on ebay. they are a direct replacement, just be sure to get the right one for your vehicle. automatic transmission has engine oil cooler line. manual does not. they are quite pricey but when your talkin blazers... its one headache youll never have again... other than the hoses of course...
