Can anyone confirm if a 1971 core support is the same as a 1972, if not, what is the difference between the two?

Thanks in advance. Tom

1971 and 72 core supports are functionally the same and will interchange. There is one minor difference for grill fitment.

I think the 72 will work in a 71 but not the other way around. The 72 support has a notch to clear the 72 grills.

Yeah it really looks like the grill turns back in towards the radiator on the 72 where it’s more flat across on the 71. Thank you for the pics.
