core support mounting bushings?
Can you use the core support bushings and mounting hardware from a 69-72 Chevy on a 68 Chevy/GMC? the parts books show there are two different sets. Just wondered if they would interchange.

If you can squeeze(torque) the factory mount down to 3/4" you should be good to go, hav'nt tried that yet

Re: core support mounting bushings?
What did it use for bushings? Did you tear it down? Do you have the old bushings?

Re: core support mounting bushings?
it had the 69-72 bushings and hardware on it, but they were in bad shape. I am going with a dual headlight core support from a 68 GMC.

Re: core support mounting bushings?
If it is going on your 71 frame use the 69-72 bushings

Re: core support mounting bushings?
So, what you guys are saying is......it isn't really the core support that makes it different, it is actually the frame itself. I didn't know the frame was different on the 67/68 vs. the 69-72's. your saying use the the 69-72 bushings since the frame is a '71.???

Re: core support mounting bushings?
You are correct. The holes are sized different on the frame brackets. The supports themselves are the same.
