radiator core cushions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I put a 68 front on my 71 can I use the 71 radiator core cushions? I have noticed that vendor sell cushions for 67-68 & 69-72. Will this cause fit-up problems?

I believe you use the 67-68 ones, the frames are the same. The 69-72 core supports might be a little shorter and therefore differnt taller support mounts

This is for chevy, not shure on GMC.

Which radiator and core support are going into it?

The radiator support is a aftermarket 67-68 & the radiator is a 4 core aftermarket one.

I would venture a starting point that they will have to be changed. Mainly going from the stock radiator to the 4 core.

Had to change mine out.
