I was looking at some on a 72 in a wrecking yard and can not see how these come off the radiator core support? are they riveted on? IF so, how do you get them off? drill or??

thanks

Yes, drill the rivets.

on my 72 burb c20 it was spot welds. i cut them off with a sawzall, drilled a hole and mounted the larger mounts for my 4 core swap. the right wheel well and radiator support have some decay due to a battery leak before i bought my truck. will do it nice when i replace those damaged parts as part of a minor touch ups.
