consider getting the repop 69-72 and cutting the top metal along the single-ply/ two-ply line.

I cut an original 72 rad support and the results are good.

Hood Spring perch is different though. I used the 68 "spring" wire, but should have kept the 72 spring.

Toronto Canada

fastenal was 240.00 to buffalo 36 x 80 pallet un in sured ,,,, unless I built a crate for it add 50.00 = 290
and he cant get across the border to pick it up

grey hound was 220 and also only usa pick up ... with 5 bus swaps ... insurance was 27.00 = 247.00

so for 65.00 more it was delivered to his door...

I have one available but mine is NOT mint. I just swapped it out for a new piece I paint matched to the body and wheel wells. Mine needs body bushing work.

If interested email me

Sorry but I didnt mean to sound rood when I posted about time.....
but
for some reason it seems to take a good part of 3-5+ hours starting by sourcing a good decent pallet ... correct size
getting item propped and secured ,,, screws, boards ... harbor freight tie downs..etc .. building a crate even ...screwin 2 together etc
shring wrap .... empty work gear out of the truck for room
adds 1-3 hours more
cleaning up my mess ... 1/2 hour
do paper work with shippers and quotes and related emails to buyer shippers etc 1/2 to an hour for sure
load the truck ,,, grey hound is a 1 hour 1 way drive,,,, fastenal is 25 minutes 1 way away ,,,, yellow freight just over an hour away one way
12 mpg in the 84 GMC dually 4.25 a gallon now for premium no alky for the 70 400 small block
then
send conformation email n pics to buyer and have a barley pop .... = timeless ,..........
put my work tools and misc back in the truck

not lookin to get paid by the hour ,, but ,, shipping big stuff often suks
I do it for good karma when I may need items ,,, " thanks VICK for GP parts" and helping me out ,,,

I have 2 real nice original 68 radiator supports 1 has been media blasted and is in dp 90 epoxy primer stored indoors on a pallet rack
the other is a sweet original in its 50 year old glory .... from a 62000 mile 4 door that had a sweet battery tray .. in one of my converts now
both are nice around the bushings ..
but its on a car ... I can pull it ,, or at least pull the bolts n bushings for pics
I need to keep one for that 68 GTO ragtop and will probably keep the DP 90 one
I also have a very nice 69 support also ...
I have 68 and 69 AC stuff too
