Radiator Support
Hi guys,
Me and my father are the new owners of a 76 C3 Corvette L48 Auto with AC
The cars needs some love, and money
The Build date code is J19 which if im not wrong means it was built on the 19th of May.
While searching for the radiator support and miscellaneous parts for it, I was confronted by the fact that the supports are different for early and late 1976 models,
so which one should I get?
thank you all

Hi AN,
Which core support you need can be determined by the fan shroud being used.
Later 76 shrouds have 2 'tabs' that require the core support to have 2 'slots' in it.
The earlier 76 shroud doesn't have the tabs, so no slots were cut into the core support.
Regards,
Alan

Hi A,
Was the core support in your car so modified that you can't see whether it has 2 slots or not?
They're along the bottom edge, so unless the support was completely cut apart I'd think that area of the support is still intact.
All the available new core supports are made by one company Coffman Corvette.
I'd contact them and see if they can advise you as to when the change occurred.
