According to Corvette Central all 80-82 vettes have a 2" thick , 3 row brass radiator. Also the supports are the same for 76L-82. There was a guy who posted earlier about saving or trashing his 81 radiator. Ask, maybe he will sell it to you?

is the rad different or the same for the L48 - L82?
And is the rad support the same for both?
Thanks Barry

My local auto shop told me they only have one listing
for a 1980 rad. I'm thinking it might be some aftermarket
generic rad that fits all ($215.00). Speed shop want's $750.00
for aluminum rad.
I can get mine recored for $200.00, think I'll go that way.
Found a rad support from local corvette wrecking yard for $250.00.
I'm good to go.
Thanks Barry
