Do reproduction radiator supports fit? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Have a quick question ,do reproduction radiator supports fit?
What about the inner fenders? For a 68 c10 if you're wondering.
One last thing? Does any body on the east coast sell them so shipping woudn't cost me an arm and a leg?

Thanks!

So far I have found that the battery tray holes don't line up, had to cut the nuts off and reposition, but that is as far as I have gotten.

my "aftermarket Taiwan-Chines made radiator supports, battery box and front fenders bolted up fine, no mods.

Henry 3, try contacting Tim Christian,he is a BB vendor and is near you.In fact he will be at the Maggie Valley Chevy/GMC Truck Nationals.If you attend you can save the shipping completely.

Modern Chevrolet in Winston-Salem has a Truck/Camaro/Nova aftermarket parts warehouse. Don't know how the prices are but worth lookin at.

cobrajet21 · 04-23-2008, 05:08 AM

thanks for the replies guys. I was unaware of Tim in rogersville. Probably an hour from me. That would definitely save on shipping!

Tim's a good source for the part. As far as fit there was a "How to" in Truck Builder last year using all reproduction parts that Tim carries and everything went together great

also just a FYI, the 'bumps' about 13" from the end, where it starts to curve down, are not there....IMO it looks better this way, kinda a shaved smoothed look...
here is a pic of the 'bumps'
