Default 68 corvette air conditioning support

Hello,
My Air conditioning support is in bad shape. I have to replace it. Is it the same model for all the C3 corvette ? Where can I buy it in good shape at a good price ?




Thank you.
Regards

Looks like just the metal plate where the heater lines come up is rusted. The rest should clean up, unless there is other things we can’t see?
Not sure if the metal plate is available or not.
I took my A/C out to replace it with Vintage Air. I will look at it tonight, but I think it is in similar condition to yours.
Where are you located?

It seems that there are two models : 68-74 and 74-82. Does anyone know the differences between the two models ? Does a 74-82 could be compatible to my 68 ? Adaptable ?
