64 C10 Radiator Core Support Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MikeN · 10-17-2023, 10:07 AM

The core support in my 64 already had a not-so-great repair on it when I got the truck in 1996, apparently from some minor crash damage. The welds have finally given up on the repair, and I need to replace the entire core support. Is the quality of the reproduction core supports acceptable? I'm not a body man, so if the reproductions need a lot of massaging, that may not work for me.

I'm running one on my truck and will say that it fit pretty nice. I had to elongate a couple of holes to allow for panel alignment but don't have any real complaints. I ordered mine from LMC.

I drove up to Auto Metal Direct in Gainesville, GA, to pick mine up a couple years ago. Fit nicely with all my other original sheet metal. I would buy a new one again if I was repairing crash damage or replacing a super rusty original

Thanks guys. Summit Racing has them in stock, manufactured by Goodmark, and it has 5 star reviews on their site. They deliver for free - i might go that route.
