Default Radiator support ?

Does anyone know if a 82 support core will work on a 79. I know that some parts from 68 thru 82 body style are interchangeable and others aren't im hoping this is a interchangeable one its at a nice price.

Might work, but do you want it? The 82 supports are trimmed for the TBI air intake system ducting.

If it would work... Yes. Finding a used support for a 79 had been $$$ and the 82 is 150

I have this one available out of a 79, a little surface rust but overall solid, if you or anyone else is interested send a PM.

So on this subject..
Not staying stock you know I do not care about stock,
Which supports would swap on my 69 that was a small block car?
I need a new one and like the OP saving a buck is far more important to me that stock.
