Yes, my car has these seals. But as I follow this thread I'm confused as to which shroud you have.
The seals in the link I posted above are for a full length plastic shroud meaning the shroud fits the outer perimeter of the radiator.
If you have the type of shroud GD70 posted, it will not use these seals.
Maybe that's why CC told you they don't sell that seal.
My car is a July 70 built with A/C.
Is your shroud the plastic rectangular one or the steel round one?
Whoops, I type too slow. You already answered my question above before I could ask it.
I believe there are also seals that go between the radiator and radiator support.
Could it be these your wanting?

The only other seals are along the sides, top & bottom of the support, and along the top of the support to seal against the hood.
There should not be a seal on the face of the radiator itself between the radiator & shroud seal. I don't have my AIM at the office, but this shows the seals for a steel shroud & radiator from the Paragon catalog. Hope this helps.

From everything I know and have seen, be it from all of the parts suppliers, to the AIM, etc., the seals you are showing are from Bubba. The only reason you should have those square seals that were sitting between the radiator and the shroud would be if Bubba was too cheap to buy the correct shroud seal. That or Bubba didn't like the tiny gap between the shroud seal and the radiator, so Bubba stuck these other seals inbetween to remove any gap.

I don't know what bubba did, but for as long as I've had the car the radiator has been aluminum color. I think it's supposed to be black. I know bubba had it out and repaired a LONG time ago. He must have bought a seal kit and put the seals there instead of where they are supposed to go. I have the seals on each side of the core support uprights along with the air dam on top of the support and that's all. From the looks of it, there should be a seal along the top. Can't tell. I'm gonna buy an aluminum radiator seal kit for my year and hopefully that will solve the problem.
Thanks so much everyone for helping me work thru this.
