four row radiator for 1930?

Berg's, Walker, Brassworks could probably make one for you. Also contact Bratton's or Snyders and ask.
A good old time radiator shop could probably put a 4 row core in yours.
Why??

4 row is typically for a AA truck and the radiator shell is deeper to accommodate the extra depth. A common Model A passenger car or pickup should cool just fine with the standard 3 row core.
If 3 row core ain't getting it done, your issue is probably a clogged block or restricted tubes in the existing 3 row radiator core.
This might call for removing the upper and lower tanks and rodding the tubes.
A can of radiator flush won't do the trick.
 
Just looking for something to keep my tudor with A/C and OD cool when touring at speed in the southern states including Texas. I'm considering a Berg's 3 tube but wondering about 4 tubes that might fit if any are available.
 
Talk to Steve Becker at Bert's Model A. If I am not mistaken their recored heavy duty radiators are 4 rows. Reasonably priced by comparison.
 
I have had several 30/31 radiators re-cored to 4 row 10 fins per inch. I have one in my 30 Town Sedan equipped with AC and have no overheating problems. And there is no problem with the fit inside the shell. However, there might be some 30/31 radiators equipped with tanks that will not allow the 4th row.
I have tried to have 28/29 radiators re-cored to 4 row but so far none of them have had tanks that would carry the extra row.
 
If you want the best cooling capacity, get a VT modern core. They cool significantly better than the flat fin cores. They aren't right, but most people won't know. I have a 3 row VT core in my town sedan with AC, Overdrive & hopped up motor. It runs 175* in the middle of summer pulling a trailer. You won't regret the modern core.
