Default Radiator question

I know this is probably a dumb question, but does a 1977 Vette with stock 350 have a drain plug on the radiator? If so, where is it. I've looked and can't seem to locate it. Thanks,
Kenny

Passenger side bottom under the lower hose port.

Pulled the radiator out of my 73, with no drain plug. Not original but no plug either. The aluminum one going in does have a plug for sure. Made a mess in the garage draining the old one.

If I remember right it was what we used to call a petcock and you could only see it if you craweled under there.

As long and as hard as I looked at the bottom of the radiator there wasn't one to be seen. Having it on the bench now didn't make one appear. Can't imagine not having one, it's a first for me.

Yep, I found it. Right where you guys said it would be. Could have sworn that I looked there before. Anyway, the previous owner has rounded the bolt off, but at least I know where it's at. Thanks,
Kenny
