Default Supra radiators w/brass tanks?

Got quite a surprise when I took my 1990 radiator to a local rad. shop. I wanted to have a thicker 3-row core made for it. Rad. shop took one look and said "no way, this thing has plastic tanks".

Did any years of the Mklll have metal tanks? The car has an auto trans., and the nice $$$ aftermarket alum. rads. don't have AT provisions. They said to mount an ext. trans. cooler ahead of the rad., but this would probably defeat most of the purpose of trying to dump more engine heat here in an Arizona summer, where 115 deg. is common.
