1968 Radiator Support

[Bill S.]

Does the correct radiator support for a 1968 with a 327 and air conditioning have a diagonal cross that would be over the core area of the radiator when the radiator is installed? It would be very helpful if anyone has a picture or could tell me where I might find one of the correct radiator support for this vehicle.

Thanks,

When the ac condenser is added in 68, the X brace was removed for clearance. The ac core support also has an extra holes on the passenger side for the ac lines to go thru and screw holes for drier mounting. . I've got one I can take a picture for you when I get home on Monday.

Mark - Here are some pics of what I believe are original 1968 C60 core supports from two of my 1968 Corvettes.
Hope this helps.

Brad,

Thanks for the pictures. Are they for the L71 427/435? Did GM also remove the X Cross for the 327 with AC in 1968?
