79 upper radiator mount - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jlolson · 05-31-2016, 11:26 PM

I went with a bigger radiator and the old upper mount won't fit. Are there any off the shelf solutions that will work for a radiator flush with the top of the cores support or do I need to fabricate something? I was hoping the LMC big block mount would work but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance.

by looking at your set up it a 73-80 rad support tall rad like that use the big block shroud and upper support to finish it off.

Thanks for the advice guys... ordered the LMC #15. If I don't post again here that means it fits!

Unfortunately only available in Chrome FYI.
