Default 1969 Radiator Support Question



The original support from my car is the one in the background it had a slight bend in it. i was planning on using the one the came with my new clip but its not quite the same. what are the brackets on the lower bottom corners for? also it came with a metal shroud do they interchange? Thanks guys.

The front support is a 68 only support and the end triangles hold it to the frame. The 69 support will give you more cooling. The metal shroud is for a manual trans. car and works for both years.

At least I can use the shroud. Are there any other differences I should look for from the '68 clip?
