Anyone have pictures of small & big block radiator / shroud brackets? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking to see what the difference is between the two. Side by side or individual pics would be appreciated. I tried searching this site but couldn't find anything.

Thanks,

Bob

nothing?

Hello Bob,
My trucks have screws that hold the top of the shroud and clips that the shroud rests in on the bottom and I have both sized engines in my trucks. Is this what your asking about?

The first pic is a shroud installed and the bolt installs into the raiator hold downs where you see the round part of the shroud.
The second piture shows you the radiator hold downs with no shroud installed.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Billy. It's those top brackets I was wondering about.

I was looking for a way to tell small block from big block brackets. Probably just longer. ?

I too would like to know if there is a difference. The only difference I knew was dependant on the number of rows in the radiatior. I know the 4 row radiatiors have a longer bracket at the top and the lower mount is longer than the standard size 2 or 3 row radiators.

A side by side photo of a small & big block top bracket would be just perfect if anyone has one.

I just don't want to be passing any up on my junkyard trips because of ignorance.
