68-69 Cutlass Radiator Top Plate
I can't tell if this is original or a repop. It has a W-30 sticker on it, but that don't mean spit. The Mondollar sticker MUST mean its a high dollar Chinesium part. LOL
Anyway, its got some holes drilled in it in some odd places, can't tell you if its a three core or four core. Has some odd bends to it so it needs a little hammer/dolly love.
$60

Mike, I think it's a 1968 without a fan shroud. I've got one like that and am pretty sure (but not positive!) that I pulled it from a 1968 Cutlass w/o AC or fan shroud. I'm guessing some of those extra holes may have been to add a shroud to the car.
Anybody have one like this still on a car?

I've never seen more than two type of top plates in 68 and the assembly manual doesn't show it either. I'm pretty sure the only cars that didn't have a shroud were MT W30's or W31's (W31's were all MT anyway). This isn't first hand knowledge, just facts I've pulled from the assembly manual

Maybe a full sized car then? I don't think the saddle in the closeup pictures is wide enough for a 4 row radiator. John, are the saddles the same size left and right? I've had several full sized car radiators that have one 4 row sized tank and one 3 row sized tank.
