Hey guys, looking for a decent radiator core support for my 64, the bottom of mine was all rusted out. Would rather not buy new, but if I have to go that route any suggestions on best fitting would be appreciated! Thanks guys!

I also looked for a while for a good, original one. By the time I finally decided I needed to fix mine, the passenger side where the mounting bolt goes through had completely rusted out and broke off. The driver's side was well on it's way to doing the same thing

Anyways, I decided to buy a new one from Auto Metal Direct since I could go to their warehouse and pick it up to save on shipping. I have all original GM sheet metal for the rest of my front end, but the core support still fit perfectly. I did not have to hog out any holes to get the panels to line up. I am very happy in my choice with that panel. The amount of time I saved on not trying to repair my original was well worth the money I spent on the new one
