how to tell the difference between 67-68 and 69-72 rad supports

[67cst]

like it says above, what are some quick ways to tell the difference between the 67/68 to 69-72 chevy supports??

Try searching. We hashed this out in a thread on here about a month ago. Several pictures in the thread labeled with the differences.

67/68 Headlight Buckets Are Formed Into The Support Themselves

69-72 Buckets Are Raised / Not Formed In, But Rather Tacked On.

We argued back and forth for a minute, but if you'll read it, we got to the bottom of the question in the latter part of the thread.

The 72 support can be used with the 67/68 grille with a little modification. The headlights are in the same position just further back against the support on the 67/68.

I thought I had read in that other thread I posted above that the headlight were in a different place as well as not having the spacer bracket.

if you remove the spacer bracket, you can mount the buckets directly to the support. The headlights are in the same position. i put my 68 next to my 72 and measured them both.
