I have a pretty good radiator support, was pulled from a ‘67. Did some research this weekend and learned that there should be a horizontal cross bar and a sheet metal bracket bolted/ screwed on the front side. In the pics you will see another version of the rad. support where these items are spot welded instead of bolted.
Here’s the questions:
1.) Anybody willing to seek just the parts I am missing? Unless local, would need shipping to 94551.
2.) How necessary are the missing items, seems pretty sturdy as is?
3.) is it correct that the ‘67 didn’t use any side supports down to frame? (Not seeing any cut/ grind marks like they were removed?)
Thank you

My '68 has the same support as the black one. No cross pieces on the bottom, but there is one bolted at the top as pictured .

Thanks Oakley. This does look the same as mine and seems yours does have the parts I am missing. Are you parting out this rig or building it?
 
Slowly building. Just needs a coat of paint and a few odds and ends. Drivetrain is complete.
 
I have the cross support and sheet metal extension. Willing to separate from the support and ship. Thanks, Dennis

Thanks rainingagain for the link to your build. I have edited my original post to add a borrowed pic showing parts separated.

Thanks Denscustom1, I will follow up with a PM for more info.
 
Thanks slotav. Seems like replacing just the parts might be too costly? Currently thinking is to "customize" a brace if it is actually needed. Still loosely researching this idea but I am still quite far from actual test fitting.
Please can you PM with pics and prices (or include here if preferred).

Yea once I’m home I’ll take a few pics. I won’t be using mine. It’s out of a 72 not sure if there’s a difference
