Is the radiator support on the '68/9 charger different than the '70 charger?? :shruggy:

I don't know about the years, but there is a different one between the different radiator sizes.  22" or 26" wide rads had a different size hole.

It's not as simple as SB/BB for determining which rad the car would get at the factory.  Air conditioning affected the standard radiator/support size too.



It's no big challenge to physically cut a larger hole for the 26" rad in a 22" core support, but the job won't look factory-done unless you swap metal from a donor car.

the 68 and 69 are slightly different where the fenders mount.  The 70 is similar to a 69 with the exception of the three threaded studs in the center where the latch support mounts.  With a little metal work, all can be used for a replacement.  Be sure to check out 2 and 4 door coronets, satellites, etc.  They all use the same support.
