willie Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Someone posted a pic of a rad support with the part number. I cant seem to locate my part # on mine as it is very rusty, but that pic will at least let me know where to look??????? Tkx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I just sandblasted the one for my 70 and this is all I found. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Thanks Dennis but thats not what i am looking for. Someone not to long ago showed a pic of his rad support that was just painted and it also had a part number. I cant find it in the search, was looking for it about 45 min and gave up. I wanted to find out where his P/N stamp was so i could start looking for it there. Being you cant find a P/N does that mean its a 70s thing????

MC1of80 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 What is the issue, besides the rust, with the one you have Willie? Want to know what year support it is? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Yes Tom i dont know where to start to look for the P/N as i cant see any numbers through the rust. Also i have a 350 car with NO rad support and i had a rad support "in stock" want to know if i could use iot for the 350 car????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it should have 4 bolts holding the top rad plate on. 3 bolts and smaller radiator opening for a non-a/c non HD cooling car. 70 has the headlights closer to the radiator than the 71 /2 does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Yes it has a/c and yes it has the 4 bolts across the top for the cover plate. Ok so i will ck tomm if it has the holes for the headlights closer to rad. So what your saying is the 71 and 72 are the same as long as there are 4 bolts across the top???

The 72 has 2 holes in the radiator support for the turn signal bulb sockets where the 71 does not. Otherwise, yes, you can use the 72 support on a 71 and a 71, if you drill the holes on a 72. The 70, because of the headlight location will not work with the 71 or 72 front sheetmetal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 This is off my 71. It’s backwards because it is stamped from the bottom side. Of to the 72. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 It’s not in the same place in the 72 and, you know I’d do anything for you, but I’m not tearing the core support out to find it. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the tie bar Dennis, not the support. But, that is 71/72 specific also. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I honestly don’t think they are all stamped. I picked up a core support for the 70 chevelle and it had a number on it. Both my brothers said they have never seen that before. And they have rebuilt a bunch of chevelles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. I am now thinking i dont really need the number, just need to know the differences between them, so i know what i have and if i can use it on this 350 car??? I will even check my 72 to see what they are if i can. Dennis you know i wouldn't even think of having you take anything apart, pics yea but not dismantling anything is a strong NOPE!!! Thank you Tom and Dennis for this info!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
