Radiator Core Support

[Hankrebel]

Anyone where to get the whole core support for a 71 Swinger?
Auto Metal Direct, Jegs and Summit only have the lower and I need the full support.
Mine is bent from what looks like a wreck in a previous life.
The only one I can find is from Us Car Tool:
67-75 A-Body Radiator Core Support Replacement with Adjustable Width

Junk yard, have one cut off leaving extra metal past the spot welds, then drill out the spotwelds, peel off the extra metal you dont need.

I thought about that but I dont have any local junkyards that would have something close.

Lee Robinson on FABO is always parting out good sheetmetal in El Dorado Hills California. Try to send him a PM for what you need. He may have it, and clean rust free.

Unfortunately, Lee doesn't have a core support for a 71 Dart.

I hope you are aware that the VIN number is stamped in the upper rail of the core support on the drivers side. You could run into problems selling it if the car has two VIN numbers on it...

Not all vins are stamped on the core support. Some are under the right front fender.

I have parted out over 300 A-Body's in my life, and owned over 100 and have NEVER seen what you wrote! Please show me a picture of a VIN under a right front fender that was done at the factory...
