Do you guys think this will fit my '74 with A/C? Some dealers show a more narrow range of years.

O.K. The ad does say it's for aluminum radiators. I am swapping to an aluminum radiator and electric fans, so I'm guessing either will work in my application? I will be putting the A/C condenser back, which was removed at some point. I already ordered a year-specific core support but it is a month back-ordered. The core in the ad posted is in stock.

The ad was a general listing, when I called they gave me the specific support I needed.

Richard, I’d do a little research before ordering anything from corvette mods. They have some very poor reviews, especially on this forum.
My only firsthand experience with them was ok, but the vast majority of reviews I have read about them were negative.
Otherwise, that’s a pretty decent price on a radiator core support. I will be ordering one soon as well, just haven’t decided where to order from as of yet.

I didn't have a problem with them before, hope I don't this time, I already made the order. Somehow I didn't see Wilcox had them or I would have definitely ordered from them!
