Default Radiator core support

On my 75' right underneath the radiator there is a bar that goes across the car, under the radiator, that looks to be just bolted to two angle brackets and then connected in the center with a long screw support of some kind. I know it's part of the core support, but it looks like this support bar could just be unbolted and replaced, but all I can find for sale is the entire core support structure. Am I missing something here?

Post a pic. I'm not sure what you're looking at. Have you checked the AIM for the bar?

unless the 75 is different, the radiator core support is one piece. On the bottom are 2 bolts to the crossmember and a single long bolt towards the nose. Plus the other bolts on each side.

That is the core support, it's one piece. Be sure to order all the foam seals that seal around and above the radiator too.
