Upper Radiator Support?

Hey all, been looking for an upper radiator support. They are hard to come by. I have found some for a 283. I have a 3 core aluminum radiator. Would this fit?

i dont think they make repo. for the 60-66 trucks but the V8 version is larger, you could try the 67-72 upper radiator bracket

Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and purchased it. I figure I can modify it if it will not work. It looks like the right fit so I am going to push forward. I wonder why do do not make a reproduction? Brawley thanks again for the reply! Have a great week.

Is this the part you're referring to? I fabricated this one from scrap sheet and welded a couple of OE saddles to it according to the upper tank location of my radiator.
