Default Corvette headlight support.

Can someone please tell me the difference between the 68 to 74 headlight bracket, and the 75 and up bracket ? I don't see any part numbers on them anywhere. I am putting a 68 together and I thought I had the right brackets, but now I'm not sure. Thank You, Joe.

Technically 68-72 are identical. 73-74 can be used if installed on 68-72 with spacer blocks. If you order from a vender this is what you used to get, since 68-72 supports are no longer available. This may or may not be available any more either. 75 on will simply not work.
