    I am looking for a good 68 core support.
    Is the 68 and 69 one in the same?
    Thanks

    Not to dispute the teacher, but I have noticed some differences between my '69 and a replacement '68 core support. The bottom radiator cross/support area on the '69 bolted together and the '68 was tack welded together. There are other tack welds and bolts on the '68 in other areas.

    My '69 only has a couple of tack welds.

    When I bought it (the '68 CS) I was thinking I could simply take the pieces from the '68 and bolt them to the '69, but the tack welds make this a bit more difficult.

    This is what I have noticed with my GS.

    Thanks,
    I guess I will go ahead with all the reassembly , for alignment, including the bad core support.

    Mike, how is the patch for the 68/69 coming along?
